In this completely revised and updated edition of the international bestseller Watching The English, anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits and foibles of the English people."I read it cover to cover in a few days... very sharp and witty prose. It really is funny - the sort of humour that makes you laugh out loud on your own!"  -  ViceNow with new survey data to add weight to her original fieldwork findings, and more extensive field research and experiments to back up earlier observations, Kate Fox has deciphered yet more enigmatic behaviour codes, adding new rules, new subcultures, new chapters and over 100 updates. If you're English, this new edition of Kate Fox's acclaimed international bestseller will make you stand back and re-examine everything you take for granted - and if you aren't English you'll finally understand all our peculiar little ways.Not only a worldwide bestseller but also a set text for university anthropology courses, Watching The English has been widely praised as a revealing and entertaining dissection of the English national character."If you like this kind of anthropology (and I do) there is a wealth of it to enjoy in this book. Her observations are acute... fortunately she doesn't write like an anthropologist but like an English woman - with amusement, not solemnity, able to laugh at herself as well as us."  -  Daily Mail
