About this product

Product Information

In WATCHING THE ENGLISH anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits and foibles of the English people. She puts the English national character under her anthropological microscope, and finds a strange and fascinating culture, governed by complex sets of unspoken rules and byzantine codes of behaviour. The rules of weather-speak. The ironic-gnome rule. The reflex apology rule. The paranoid-pantomime rule. Class indicators and class anxiety tests. The money-talk taboo and many more . . . Through a mixture of anthropological analysis and her own unorthodox experiments (using herself as a reluctant guinea-pig), Kate Fox discovers what these unwritten behaviour codes tell us about Englishness.

English behaviour
Oh so accurate and funny account of our behaviour! Bit repetitive in places and not always easy reading but glad I persevered with it! Find myself people watching more! Even having a little giggle at things people do now!

Wisdom and humour in one entrancing package. An absolute MUST.
Absolutely fascinating, insightful and amusing observations of my fellow countrymen. Interesting to see us as outsiders do, stiff, formal and sticklers for unspoken procedures on the one hand and excessively liberated at times on the other. What a muddle of humor and contradictions, protocol and traditions we are, a happy melding of all those eccentricities that make us so uniquely ourselves, and so incomprehensible to others. A thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile book, written from a professional perspective, but with the wit of Thelwell!!Absolutely fascinating, insightful and amusing observations of my fellow countrymen.
