Overview

From icons of British history to geography, the economy to the legal system, I Should Know That: Great Britain covers a wide range of topics, filling in all those embarrassing gaps in your knowledge of this fair isle. Inspired by the UK citizenship test, this useful and interesting guide includes sections such as essential British history, the current political and legal system, migration to Britain, women's rights, geography, and culture. Learn all about the Magna Carta, the House of Lords, the Old Bailey and the Commonwealth, as well as more light-hearted topics such as allotments, pets, haggis, and marmite, and be amused by the unfortunate but hilarious gaffes made by our politicians. Packed full of information, this entertaining and fact-filled guide to Great Britain is perfect for anyone who wishes that they were a more informed citizen.
