Ben Crystal and Adam Russ have published a book,
A is for APOLOGISING: If Brits could make anything other than queuing an international sport, saying sorry would be it.
D is for DOCTOR WHO: Matt Smith is the latest Time Lord, who has more than 750 episodes behind him since 1963, I know Jungle Jil will like that one!
I is for IMPERIAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES: Stuff your metric system. We'll stick to imperial.
J is for JOBSWORTH: In 2009 Stewart Smith was stopped by a Strathclyde copper and handed a £10 note he had dropped. He was then fined £50 for littering. There is no better definition for "jobsworth"... except maybe traffic wardens.
S is for SANDWICHES: In the 18th Century, the fourth Earl of Sandwich put meat between two pieces of bread. Hero,
finally,
Z is ZEBRA CROSSINGS: A UK invention. By walking on to the stripes, pedestrians put huge faith in the courtesy/eyesight of drivers, who are supposed to stop, not to be recommended in some counties that paint them on the roads!
it looks like a great little book and from what I have seen of it so true!
