Hey, I'm Mike. Born and bred in England. I once ran a chain of London optical practices; now I explain Britain to over a million people on the internet, which my younger self would have found deeply suspicious.
I write about British culture, the art of getting along with people, and navigating life with some dignity and the occasional biscuit. Husband. Father. Englishman.
