Brexit, Friday-night binge drinking, NHS waiting lists, corrupt politicians - oh and the climate. There are seemingly endless things that make us despair of life in modern Britain. But in Aren't We a Funny Lot? Richard Walters takes an altogether different, more cheerful tack. From spotted dick to old school seaside holidays, to country pubs and the national obsession with tea, he reminds us just what it is that makes Britain 'great'. In a series of chapters covering such diverse topics as sleep, sex and sunshine (or the lack of all three), he highlights the weird idiosyncrasies that make Britain what it is - sometimes, just plain crazy! Witty, insightful and razor-sharp, Aren't We a Funny Lot? will have you laughing out loud and it's possible, 'crazy' and 'whacky' might just be what we need in today's worryingly extremist modern world.
