4.0 out of 5 stars
A quickie look at Brit Slang
This is more of a pamplet, so at the price, it is a little shy of fulfilling its aim. It gives you some of the more common slang.

However, it is thin so I would recommend a few others in the same price range that delivers more. Good, but not enough.

An abbreviated glimpse at British slang that puzzles readers,
By Connie Clark Kittle (Petersburg, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bob's Your Uncle: A Dictionary of Slang for British Mystery Fans (Paperback)
Jann Turner-Lord's "Bob's Your Uncle" is a slender volume of only 62 pages, yet it is often humourous and informative. With this decryption tool, you can now appreciate paragraph's such as: "That Henry! He is always acting off his own bat! All mouth and no trousers, ever since he was a sprog; he should really consult a trick cyclist!I mean sure, sometimes his manners can be all gas and gaiters, but yesterday I just wanted him to naff off. I think I will just put on my plimsolls and scarper over to his house and tell him not to get so shirty. And don't worry, I promise not to let it turn into a slang-match!"You can bet your sosh that this book will better prepare you for reading books by British authors, or Bob's Your Uncle!
