Every good book has a celebrity endorsement. We have Rick Steves. Of course, every bad book does too, so this doesn't help much.
 
| This rotten work is suggested as a reference in Rick's UK book. A dry-witted primer on British culture |
Rick also interviewed me twice on his radio programme.
Interview 1: In which Rick and I talk about rhyming slang, British political geography and other stuff.
Interview 2: In which we take phone calls from listeners, and Rick makes me say 'vagina'.
The Septic's Companion is an A-to-Zed dictionary of British Slang words and phrases, written by a Scotsman living in America. You may know it better by the title it had for the previous ten years, "The English-to-American Dictionary". The online dictionary is all free; the book contains all that and more riveting British stuff.
 | For the last few weeks on the site we've had a forum, upon which has been discussed everything from where to download British TV shows to where to get English tea or what exactly Americans call a “caravan”. Can you afford not to be a part of this? |

People regularly ask me what the best way to read this dictionary offline is - at the moment, the best way is to buy the Amazon Kindle edition and use it on a Kindle - with that, you can take it abroad and read it without an internet connection.
