A doorstopper of a collection of the very best of both contemporary and classic British wit and humour. From Monty Python's 'Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more . . .' to Dan Antopolski's 'Hedgehogs. Why can't they just share the hedge?'. From George Bernard Shaw to Michael McIntyre, from Eric Morecombe to Omid Djalili, and from Oscar Wilde to Jimmy Carr, a side-splitting look at Britain, the British and life in general. Including these gems from Britain's finest comedians:

Eighty-two point six per cent of statistics are made up on the spot. Vic Reeves.
A bird in the hand invariably shits on your wrist. Billy Connolly.
Getting divorced isn't like a bereavement at all, because if he's died, I'd have had me mortgage paid, and I could've danced on his grave. Sarah Millican.
My greatest hero is Nelson Mandela: incarcerated for 25 years, he was released in 1990, he's been out about 18 years now and he hasn't re-offended. Ricky Gervais.
If you want to confuse a girl, buy her a pair of chocolate shoes. Milton Jones.
Phil Collins is losing his hearing, making him the luckiest man at a Phil Collins Concert. Simon Amstell.
