Which king ordered everyone to bed at 8pm? How many Pot Noodles are
sold every second in Great Britain? How many streets must a London
cabbie memorise in order to pass 'the knowledge'? How much does the
hammer of Big Ben's bell weigh? If you want to know the answers to
these and a whole host of other questions about Blighty, then this
is the book for you! Great Britain is a nation steeped in history,
traditions and terrible food. But how much do we really know about
our weird and wonderful island? In this informative, amusing and
fun compendium of knowledge, author Hannah Warner reveals a host of
things you probably don't - but should - know about your country.
This entertaining collection includes fascinating facts about
royalty, politics, history, food and drink, sport, writers,
transport - and even Great British failures. It is a celebration of
the great and the good (plus those who were not so great but tried
hard) from this land. So once you've taken the bulldog for a walk,
queued for your fish and chips, made a nice cup of tea and put your
feet up, sit back and revel in all that is glorious about Great
Britain!
