Once upon a time the British were renowned around the world for Tea drinking, Cricket, Umbrellas, Bowler hats and Reserve. Using these Classic British symbols Mike Richards presents the case for a return to a world of good manners, British-ness and a nice cup of tea.

Inside every mannered British Gentleman beats the heart of an explorer and the soul of a poet, all he needs to do is smash his reserve. So grab that cricket bat, smash that teapot, breakout of that phone box and unleash the Gentleman within.

Chronicling Captain Teapot’s eccentric British life style is Neil Thayer, photographer, adventurer, cyclist and friend. Together the Gentlemanly duo dream of a far off land, where herds of wild teapots run free, where every Gentleman wears a Bowler and where everything stops for a nice cup of tea.
