About this listen

Dom Joly has itchy feet. Again. He wants to get away. But, at the same time, something is nagging at him. He’s pretty sure he’s taken the country he lives in, England, for granted. As the 18th-century Italian playwright, Carlo Goldoni once wrote: 'A wise traveller never despises his own country.' But that was alright for Carlo. He lived in Venice.

Mystifyingly, 37.9 million visit England each year. Why? There’s basically nothing here. What are they looking for, and what do they find? Dom decides to try to find out. To do something he’d never considered before: to treat England as he would any other country. Surely there’s more to England than a slightly dull, green and pleasant land. Surely, it’s not just fish and chips, Shakespeare and the queen. Is it?

Maybe not, but there is one English cliché that’s definitely true: such miserable weather.

Excellent Tour of Britain

It is unfortunate that Dom’s tour of the UK was curtailed by Covid. But it was a fun ride while it lasted. The book was well written and nicely narrated by the author. It was a fun whirlwind random tour of Britain. I enjoyed not knowing where he was going to go next and what he’d encounter at each stop. Since I grew up in the Cotswolds it was also fun to hear his take on places I have lived in and visited. I even learned some fun facts, which I am not going to spoil here. Suffice to say, I now know how many lakes are in the Lake District. Thank you Dom.
