Delving into data from surveys, the census, and the Office of National Statistics, this revealing study paints a clear portrait of who the British people are, what they do, how they think, and how they have changed. The results raise some interesting questions such as Do the British rely too heavily on the media? Can they take pride in a “British education?” and Do they spend too much time on appearances? From population size to pints per week, from average income to average sex life, every area of Britain is numerically illuminated in this enjoyable and enlightening cultural companion.
