So how exactly has the English Language grown over the years? And how many people speak English today? In 2006 it was believed that there were some 400 million native speakers of English and a further 400 million people who use English as the second language. Despite this many local dialects and catchphrases have divided the language so much so that to some English speakers, the language is still confusing. With catchphrases being used so naturally in some quarters, that will seem incomprehensible to others. Many catchphrases are from a local dialect and others are steeped in history. The British use catchphrases without thinking and it is generally assumed that others will ‘get the gist’ and fully understand the meaning. Further to these numbers of English speakers it is estimated that some 600 – 700 million people across the globe speak some English as a foreign language. So, in short that is well over a billion people in the world today can communicate in some sort of English language. These are figures from over 10 years ago, so the number might well have increased. From this it is reasonable to assume that approximately 1.5 billion people across the world are capable of communicating in English. This Book helps people to understand British Catchphrases. A must have for people who have English as a second language.

Brit Speak for Yanks! Back in 1887, Oscar Wilde wrote, “We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.” One would think, in a world homogenized by technology and social media, that differences between British English and American English would gradually disappear. Ask any recent traveler, though, and you’ll learn that plenty of linguistic idiosyncrasies persist, and new ones emerge all the time. Folks on both sides of the pond may be in closer touch than ever before, but we are still, as George Bernard Shaw purportedly noted, “two nations divided by a common language.” Blimey, I’m Knackered is the perfect companion for anyone desiring to bridge the gap between US and UK English or who simply enjoys the evolution of language and culture. American scholar and longtime UK resident Marshall Hall has organized his insightful definitions and explanations of British idioms, colloquialisms, abbreviations, acronyms, and slang into nineteen entertaining and revealing chapters covering everything from transportation and food to politics, education, and wardrobe. Making the book truly comprehensive are sections on pejoratives and “naughty bits.” Hall’s often amusing explanations make the book an engaging read for language lovers and travelers alike. Charming pen-and-ink illustrations by Mark Cowie add whimsy and humor to this entertaining, useful, and unique compendium. No American need ever be befuddled again! -- Marshall Hall

In recent years the term ‘climate change’ is very rarely out of the news. Some people get very emotional about it, many look for someone to blame, some dismiss it, some protest about it, and some say and do nothing. But what is climate change and what if anything can we do about it. This book looks at a simplistic approach to tackling climate change by looking at Carbon Neutrality which makes up the largest part of climate change, and if followed will actually achieve more than just words and protests. Carbon Neutrality is one of the most talked about topics on the planet, and let face it despite some peoples opinion it is here to stay and the population of the world have to discuss it and change their lifestyles to become carbon neutral. Through this book we look at what Carbon Neutrality is and how we can live with it by making changes to the way we live, some might say making sacrifices, I believe it is about simple survival. But creating carbon neutrality can only be effective if it is done by everyone. And not just a few ‘do gooders’.

This is a survival guide to home cooking. The recipes are modular and can be used in a mix and match manner. I will give you the very best tips along the way. The recipes themselves are scalable and can be used to feed two or fifty and every number in between, they will still work in the same way. The measurements and quantities in the recipes will feed 2 – 4 people depending on your appetite. I will also give examples as to how various dishes can be put together to complement each other. In the same way some of the dishes are suitable for vegetarians. Again, these will be identified throughout the book along with alternatives that can make the dish suitable for vegetarians. In an ever-changing world this type of diet is becoming very popular. This is not a book of big glossy pictures of dishes that most people are never going to create. But recipes that are all workable within a basic domestic kitchen and with basic equipment. The ingredients needed are also easy to find and are well within the budget of most people. I hope you enjoy using the book and create some great meals. The 150 recipes mixed together can produce over 200 dishes.
