Definitely clarified why the English would be put off by US behaviour. What's interesting is that English that read the book find it humorous and amusing, while as a foreigner I found it factual and dry. Even had to take a 3-book reading break to finally finish it. Most important lesson: they are reserved and modest: http://www.langmaidpractice.com/wp-content/uploads/Rules-of-E1-1024x702.jpg No more non-fiction for a while, please.
"Social dis-ease", she decides, is the "central core of Englishness". She holds this congenital awkwardness responsible for everything from our "obsession with privacy" to our celebrated courtesy, famous reserve and infinite capacity for embarrassment. "We do everything in moderation," she believes. Fox's curiosity about English behaviour, which she attempts to reduce, in this prodigously long investigation, into key constituent parts, is matched only by her regret that we are not a more free and easy nationality.

Anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits and foibles of the English people. She puts the English national character under her anthropological microscope, and finds a strange and fascinating culture, governed by complex sets of unspoken rules and byzantine codes of behaviour.
