The Great Book of British Useless Information by Hannah Warner

Great Britain is a nation steeped in history, traditions and terrible food. But how much do we really know about our weird and wonderful sceptred isle? 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!
Hannah Warner used to work in the glamorous world of broadcasting, producing Steve Wright, Janice Long, and a forgettable Geri Halliwell special for BBC Radio 2. This is her third trivia book.
