And 25 million of what drink are served by British Airways each year?
We Brits can’t get enough of a quiz. Stumped for office party chit-chat? Quiz. Midweek visit to the pub? Quiz. Stuck inside in pyjamas on a rainy night and in the mood to cause a big family argument? You got it – quiz.
This book is correspondingly filled with questions on all things wonderfully and unequivocally British – you’ll find all sorts of tickly teasers, complex conundrums, worrisome word searches and much more on topics ranging from our iconic weather to types of cake.

So you couldn’t run your local pub quiz using this, but it’s a funny illustration of british quirks and nuances.
Funny and would recommend.

I’ve been a big fan of Very British Problems for the last 10years and read every single joke. It still makes me laugh out loud! It amazes me how cleverly he can put jokes in the perfect wording. I got this book as a gift and I love it. It’s unique for a quiz book to be so funny. It’s so refreshing, comforting and innovative yet informative! I can’t wait to do this quiz with my family this Christmas and ordered a couple more as perfect Christmas gifts! Highly recommend it!

Although I follow and like the instagram page I found the level of quiz questions in the book were embarrassingly low . Very disappointing . Non British people may find it interesting.

Just the thing for a family quiz after a festive lunch. Some easy clues, some harder ones, and the usual VBP humour.
