Product Description
Andrew Marr
`A thoroughly novel and refreshing way of looking at our recent
history. This is "mundane" as a good thing. It is a daybreak to bedtime
story told further from "them", and nearer to "us". Almost every page has
its "yes!..I'd forgotten" moment. I loved his book enormously.'

Juliet Gardiner
`A wonderfully insightful probe into the habits and rituals that
have made up daily life in Britain since the Second World War. Almost
nothing escapes Joe Moran's penetrating gaze; an inspired anthropologist of
the ordinary, and often very funny, he turns his readers into informed
observers, and gives an enhanced understanding of what we do every day
without a second thought and why we do it. You'll never eat a slice of
toast, join a queue or send an e mail in the same way again.'
