5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Americans relocating to the UK, 2 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I read the descriptions in this book and couldn't stop laughing. British English really is a different language. Buy this book to help you decipher what the Brits mean.

I have given this book to several friends. Both Brits and Americans think it's a riot. Buy it today! (If you want to laugh.)

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is hilarious, 29 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I picked this book up at the airport and laughed all the way to New York. I never knew there were so many weird things the Brits say. Next time I visit I'll be really careful not to mess up!
