A perennially popular collection of colour cartoon illustrations with accompanying texts on the endearing oddities of our British life & character Drawing on their many years' experience of teaching English as a Foreign Language the authors also offer the wider world a tongue-in-cheek guide on how to get around in English & at the same time make sense of our 'funny ways' It's a gentle brand of satire & although there's the occasional barbed arrow for bland food fashion disasters or dubious standards of hygiene the tone of The How To Be British Collection is more nostalgic than scornful & the pet-loving royal-watching tea drinking characters that populate its pages are viewed with wry affection Cartoons like How to be Polite & How to Complain have been reproduced in publications all over the world perhaps because they put a finger on that peculiar tentativeness that foreigners find so puzzling (and so funny) about us In order to be British or at any rate to pass unnoticed in British society the visitor must learn not to 'make a fuss' A fuss is something that the true Brit cannot stand It is nearly as bad as a 'scene' & in the same category as 'drawing attention to yourself' In the first frame of How To Be Polite a man -- presumably an uninitiated foreign visitor -- has fallen into a river He's clearly in trouble & is shouting HELP! -- at the top of his voice judging by the speech bubble An English gentleman is walking his dog along the river bank There's a lifebelt prominently displayed beside them but the gent & his dog are walking away from the emergency with disapproving expressions In the next frame the man in the river has changed his strategy & is calling out Excuse me Sir I'm terribly sorry to bother you but I wonder if you would mind helping me a moment as long as it's no trouble of course & this time naturally the English gent is rushing to his aid throwing the lifebelt into the water Even the dog is smiling Much of the material in The How to be British Collection is about how cultural differences can prove a minefield for the unwary To that extent its appeal
