Le Guide Officiel To Becoming British: How to Fit In When You're French by Muriel DEMARCUS

So you think you that you understand what being British is about? Dear oh dear. I urge you to think again. Little things can betray you, this much I know.
For instance: Where do you find Yorkshire puddings? What does ‘I don’t disagree’ mean?
See, it’s not that easy;

Muriel Demarcus used to live in Paris. When her husband found a job in London, she realised that she had two options: change husband or change job. She chose the latter, and the whole family moved to London as a result. She quickly found a new job but struggled to understand the rules of the game on the other side of the Channel. To make matters even worse, she wasn’t taken seriously, probably because of her French accent. Being a French women in a Corporate environment in London was a double whammy: she had to deal with the sexist comments and the cliches on the French. Because just by crossing the Channel, she had apparently become some sort of mysterious creature that was almost too beautiful to have a brain of her own. So much for having studied quantum physics, abstract algebra and number theory. It was time for a change. She started a blog, FrenchYummyMummy.com when she left the Corporate world in 2011. The success of her blog took everybody by surprise (including her). She started writing for newspapers and magazines, and famously made the cover of The Times clutching a baguette. She writes about Britishness, the French, and everything in between.
