Think of Britain and what do you think of
?

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.

Myway Code Replaces the Highway Code

We interrupt this oppressive website for an announcement from our "colleagues" at the VDLA.

It’s time to familiarise yourself with the real rules of the road

After 75 years, the VDLA has decided to rewrite the Highway Code in line with the rules commonly encountered on the nation's roads. From now on, it will be known as The Myway Code and will be available from all good bookshops as well as this Amazon link. (Opens in a new window.)

The Myway Code is the brainchild of Dan Kieran and Ian Vince, a brutally honest and downright twisted version of the Highway Code that probably bears a lot more resemblance to what actually happens on Britain’s roads. Taking a well-aimed potshot at motorists, lorry-drivers, cyclists, white van man, public transport, the government, and of course, the dear old Highway Code itself, no-one and nothing escapes the scathing eye of The Myway Code.

If you think you’re ready, take The Myway Code Theory Test at the dedicated microsite here and find out how much you really know. You have nothing to lose but your license.
