4.5 How to be Decadent
Written and presented by George Mikes
'It is a shame and in bad taste to be an alien and it is no use pretending otherwise. There is no way out of it. A criminal may improve and become a decent member of society. A foreigner can't improve. Once a foreigner always a foreigner.' It is 30 years since the publication of George Mikes' famous book How To Be An Alien. To mark the anniversary he takes a lighthearted look at how he felt then and how he might feel were he to arrive as an alien in this country today.
