Life in the Great United Kingdom of Britain: A Guide for Old and New Residents

In 2004, the Home Office first published Life in the United Kingdom - an official guide to our history, values, laws, traditions, government and daily life for those seeking British citizenship or indefinite leave to remain. But now, it's time for a little update . . .

Life in the Great United Kingdom of Britain: A Guide for New and Old Residents attempts to explain British customs and ways of life to outsiders, exposing their inherent absurdity. Covering class, colloquialisms, the royal family and so much more, Lucien Young - with his trademark wit and satirical flair - shines a light on everything British, exploring our values (real and imagined), history (sanitised and otherwise) and getting to the bottom of what Britishness actually means today.
