Bling, Blogs and Bluetooth: A Guide for Oldies

Are you a kipper? What is nang, for goodness’ sake? Where the heck is the Rhubarb Triangle? Do you suffer from affluenza? What is a flash mob, a blog, and slow food? And what on earth is chikenability? All is made clear in this humorous exploration of mode
living. Collated from The Oldie’s “Mode
Life” columns, every new, trendy, obscure, or just downright odd activity—from speed-dating to Pilates—is described with wry bemusement. The result is an alte
ative guide to contemporary Britain that will ensure readers, young and less-young, know their chavs from their tweenagers.
