Description
Book SynopsisIt's not just vocabulary that separates Brits from Yanks. From death (Americans think it's optional) to change (Brits think God got it right first time round), our attitudes are poles apart. Here, Jane Walmsley explores the differences in all their glory: from sex to money, from sport to religion.
