Summary
The British Bloke appears simple and straightforward. He loves football, cricket, beer, sheds, wearing socks and books about the SAS.
But beneath that simple exterior lies a mysterious and complex being.
In The British Bloke Decoded, writer, comedian and regular bloke, Geoff Norcott peels back the layers of blokedom, revealing the truth behind the sometimes inexplicable behaviour of Britain's husbands, dads and brothers.
Based on 46 years of field research and almost scientific insights, Geoff digs deep into subjects as wide as: the value of Banter, the surprising roots of Mansplaining, the near impossibility of getting blokes to send birthday cards, and whether there could be a medal system for Hoovering.
And ultimately, he concludes that whilst the toxic men have been grabbing all the publicity - perhaps now's the time to celebrate the simple British bloke in all his eccentric splendour.

Another cracker from geoff
Another cracking guide to British men with a wry humour and sharp observation from a voice of sanity in a increasingly crazy world

Brilliant
Very enjoyable, very funny, just nice light hearted fun. Geoff writes about the not-so-modern man without any of the usual unabashed misandry that has become a paradigm of the comedy industry.

Funny and insightful
A very enjoyable listen which resonates with most women dealing with the struggles of understanding their beloved. Funny take on how blokes work but also rings true.

At last
Great book, laugh out loud, will resonate with all blokes whilst the other half looks in disapprovingly

It's not just me then 😂
Just finished British Bloke Decoded. Really funny and so helpful. I can't believe the number of "I thought that was just me" moments. Very reassuring that I'm pretty normal 😂 The book is helpful, deep in places, oddly reassuring but also witty Geoff's delivery is spot on.

always worth listening to
interesting examination of being a British bloke in a changing world and how this differs from the stereotype seen in the press and online. Geoff's comic voice comes through and his softer side that makes him worth listening to

Very enjoyable
A good listen from Geoff. Despite admitting to being the sort of soppy drip who likes to cry. Could be worse though, he could also be a southerner…

What most blokes think!
A very charmingly written and narrated book by Geoff. He very elegantly and eloquently records what it is to be an ordinary bloke in the modern era. If you like the book check out his podcast “what most people think” which is equally thought provoking.
