Do you love all things British and have a quirky sense of humor?

Watch British TV and sometimes find yourself lost in translation?

Hope to visit the United Kingdom someday?

Have British friends and want to liven up your conversations with the latest slang, swear words, and insults?

Put the Kettle On is a lighthearted look at life in the UK; it will take you beyond the stereotypes. Take a peek behind the curtains and learn about the language, customs, and food of the Brits.

Includes information you need to know, including

• driving in the UK
• food and shopping
• pubs, restaurants, and drinking culture
• holidays and celebrations
• troubleshooting and what not to say

Includes a full British to US translation list with the most up to date words and phrases.

Though the book includes lots of useful information about the UK, it should not be viewed as a serious travel guide.

Not suitable for those who take themselves too seriously.
