Media Reviews
A delight to read, and full of funny, helpful and thought-provoking information. -- John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor
A funny and fascinating reminder that the British Way is definitely not the Only Way...this is essentially the Rough Guide to Not Getting Beaten Up Abroad. -- Danny Wallace, author of Yes Man
This is a great read for frequent and armchair travellers alike: pack it in your hand luggage on your next trip and you'll be in for a treat. Ranging from how to greet people, what never to say and how to conduct a business lunch, this little gem is an entertaining and practical guide to avoiding foreign faux-pas. * Management Today *
