The Friday Brit clinic is back. If you have any questions about life in this chilly, overcast island, feel free to ask them in the comments. We will do our best to answer.

Eeek, I’ve just realised it’s the last Friday of the month today, and time for our latest Brit clinic. If there’s anybody out there, and not lazing by the pool eating ice cream, who wants to ask the combined Brains of Britain here a question, go right ahead.
As usual, please post your questions in the comments section and we’ll do our best to reply.

Don’t worry – we haven’t abandoned our Britclinics! We’ve just decided to hold them once a month rather than weekly, to give folks more time to gather questions together, and to leave more room for other posts.
The next formal Britclinic will be on Friday 25th July (the last Friday of the month) but if anyone has any burning questions that can’t wait that long, feel free to bung them in the comments section today and we’ll happily get back to you.

Hello and welcome to our regular weekly brain-busting ‘pick a British writer’s brain’ day,
The ‘rules’ are simple – just use the comments section to ask your questions on any aspect of British life, language or writing, and one of the panel of British writers will get back to you during the day. As before, keep checking back for the answers – and we all hope you have lots of fun!

Hello and welcome to our brain-busting ‘pick a British writer’s brain’ day, which we’re hoping will become a regular weekly event.
If you missed last week’s, the ‘rules’ are simple – just use the comments section to ask your questions on any aspect of British life, language or writing, and one of the panel of British writers will get back to you during the day. As before, keep checking back for the answers – and we all hope you have lots of fun!

If anyone has any questions about their British settings or characters, feel free to post them in the comments below and we will do our best to answer. We may not know an answer, but we’ll have a damn good try
Unfortunately, due to WordPress’ deficiencies, answers will not be threaded, nor will they be emailed to you, so the only way to catch them will be to keep checking back occasionally. If I could figure out a plug in to fix this, I would!

Just a quick post to say that although not much appears to be happening, we’re busy behind the scenes trying to sort out rules and posting guidelines.
One of the things I most want to see on here is a weekly brit-picking clinic, where anyone can ask questions about any aspects of British life they need to know about, and they will get answers from us all. I’m thinking Fridays? What do you think?
