Synopsis

Sixty million people live on a group of islands on the fringes of the North Atlantic and it seems that no-one has a clear idea of what it takes to be a citizen of Britain. Our climate is temperate, our topography is fair-to-middling and our attitudes are, on the whole, average, reasonable and non-extreme. So who are we? What makes us tick? What are the rights and responsibilities of living in the worlds oldest and least defined democracy? Isnt it about time it was spelled out? From birth to death, this guide will explain exactly what one should expect when living in the UK, what to look out for and what to avoid.
