About This Item
London: Phoenix, 2006. Paperback. Good. The English are naturally, congenitally, collectively and singularly, livid much of the time. In between the incoherent bellowing of the terraces and the pursed, rigid eye-rolling of the commuter carriage, they reach the end of their tethers and the thin end of their wedges. They're incensed, incand escent, splenetic, prickly, touchy and fractious. They sit apart on their h alf of a damply disappointing little island, nursing and picking at their i rritations. Perhaps aware that they're living on top of a keg of fulminatin g fury, the English have, throughout their history, come up with hundreds o f ingenious and bizarre ways to diffuse anger or transform it into somethin g benign. Good manners and queues, roundabouts and garden sheds, and almost every game ever invented from tennis to bridge.
