Description: | Select Guide Rating By focusing on such commonplace, prosaic and mundane matters as dog-fouling, swearing, drinking, smoking, nudity, public toilets and parking, Orderly Britain very entertainingly tells us much about social change and, more particularly, about the changing nature of British society. How do British pavements remain free of dog mess? Why are paths not littered with cigarette butts or roads not lined with abandoned cars? What does the decline of the public lavatory say about us and is the national reputation for queuing still deserved today? |
