"Philosopher Julian Baggini set out on a quest to discover what the English really think. Not content to rely solely on opinion polls and official surveys, he spent six months in S66, the most typical postcode area in the country." "Living in a semi in Everytown by the junction of a dual carriageway, he starts drinking in his local and makes new friends. The Sun and the Daily Mail become his source of news while Radio Two plays in the background. And he begins to explore people's beliefs, their hopes and fears." "He finds meaning in unlikely places, such as the race course, Indian takeaways, and nightclubs packed with binge-drinkers. He encounters men who are men, women who are women, and children with no idea what they are supposed to be." "His account of his stay in Everytown provides an eye-opening and entertaining look at what it is to be English. It also takes Baggini on an unexpected personal journey of discovery which makes him see his own country through new eyes."--BOOK JACKET.
