Sometimes I like to think that all #PeopleAreStrange. Not just the English, I mean. My tribe, the Germans, have strange habits, too. Not to mention all the lovely nerds and geeks. 😁

Although the author is British, she takes the #OutsidersPerspective to watch her fellow country men/women.

Grooming-talk starts with greeting-talk. Weather-speak is needed in this context partly because greetings and introductions are such an awkward business for the English. 🤔😂

MrBook Welcome to @Litsy ! We hope you enjoy your stay, I think you'll like it here 😎👍🏻. 8y
MicLim This book is funny, but it's not drawing me in and I really want to like it. 8y
morag-at-large I agree MicLim. I wanted to enjoy this more than I did. The bit about the university anarchy club organizing the best parties did make me laugh out loud however. 😄 8y

When I was about seven, an American friend of my parents' bent down, tweaked my cheek, and asked, "So, what do you think of America, then?" I gave the matter due frowning consideration for a moment or two before replying, "Well, I think it will probably be all right when it's finished."
