Someone (I can't find the thread now) mentioned receiving the book, "Lessons from the Land of Pork Scratchings". It is written by a New Yorker who moved to London to work and how he discovers the "secret of happiness in Britain". I bought a copy from Amazon.com - started it yesterday and can't put it down! It is so funny and informative. I'm going back to London next month with my husb. - it's his 1st trip to London and I can't wait for him to read this guy's take on the British. It will kind of give him an idea of what to expect.
Great book!
