I haven’t read the book, but since it is all the rage and seemingly the only thing people around me are talking about — here are some things that you should know:

row in reference to a dispute or argument is pronounced “rau”.

taking the mickey means, “to make fun of.”

West Ham United is a football [soccer] team which was, until the end of this past season, in the English Premier League. They have now been relegated to Division 1. They are commonly referred to as “The Hammers”.

I’m not English, I’m just trying to help out my brothers and sisters in the States from embarrasing themselves. I would imagine nothing could be worse than getting information in a kids book wrong.
