About this listen

After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson took the decision to move back to the States for a while but before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite, a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy, place names like Farleigh Wallop and Shellow Bowells, people who said 'Mustn't grumble', and Gardeners' Question Time.

Bryson being Bryson, this is amusing as expected. However, there were recording noises in the second half of the book which takes away a bit from the narration. Also, the music at the end is timed wrong & can be heard in chapter 4. Feeling disappointed hence.
