Don't be shy, send me a message!

In this episode, I interview Chris Hunt, known on Instagram as ‘British Bond Addict’, you can find him here: https://www.instagram.com/britishbondaddict/ 

He and I work together to identify The Seven Pillars of Britishness:

(1)   Humour (spelt with a ‘u’)

(2)   A stiff upper lip

(3)   Embracing a range of accents

(4)   The class system 

(5)   Gentlemenliness (not a word)

(6)   Patriotism 

(7)   Tea

We also talk about the British inability to let go of the past, and how we teach what Britishness is to children. 

You can always find me on: https://www.instagram.com/flemingneverdies/
