There's nothing much left to feel good about these days if you're British, but one of the few things where we all agree that we're still a world leader is our defining sense of humour. Thematically covering every subject imaginable, from God to dogs, this collection is the seminal gathering of our national wit and a picture of who we are as a nation - a monument to our monumental silliness. 'An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.' George Mikes Jane Austen, Jo Brand, Craig Brown, Winston Churchill, Alan Clark, Jeremy Clarkson, Billy Connolly, Peter Cook, Tommy Cooper, Stephen Fry, A.A. Gill, Boris Johnson, Samuel Johnson, Maureen Lipman, Spike Milligan, Eric Morecambe, William Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, Frank Skinner, Sue Townsend, Peter Ustinov, Queen Victoria, Oscar Wilde, P.G. Wodehouse, Victoria Wood and many more.

 Wit? Nit!

The title is ambiguous; is it the Wit or the British that is Great? This is a puzzle because neither, today, can be considered great if this book is anything to go by. The mind boggles that someone with such an un-British name dares to pontificate on what is both British and supposedly witty or otherwise. The problem is that this book offers thousands of one-liners, for the most part taken out of context, which spoils half the fun.

Put it this way: not once did I fall off the lavatory throne to roll on the floor, laughing. Perhaps a dozen times it raised a glimmer of a smile. And the quality of the paper made it unsuitable for other lavatory uses.
