Think of Britain and what do you think of ?

The orderly stripe of a lawn.
The gentle patter of relentless rainfall.
Radio 4.
Tea.

Based on this website, Britain: What a State is a send-up of an entire way of life. From the unique British class system to pubs and our beloved transport network, every element of our society is brilliantly explained and illustrated in a series of wincingly accurate spoof official forms from the DoSS.

Think The Framley Examiner meets the entire output of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and you have Britain: What a State.
