BRITISH BLOKE DECODED (HB)

The British Bloke loves football, cricket, beer, sheds, wearing socks, and books about the SAS. But beneath that simple exterior lies a mysterious and complex being. Having conducted 46 years of field research, Geoff Norcott explores subjects including the value of Banter, the surprising roots of Mansplaining, the near impossibility of getting blokes to send birthday cards, and whether there could be a medal system for Hoovering. Recently, toxic men have been grabbing the publicity - perhaps now's the time to celebrate the simple British bloke in all his eccentric splendour.
