The Agent Z books are set in Britain, and the language and 'lifeworld' understandably make no allowances for any international readers. Thus the books are scattered with references to British culture that can prove problematic to anyone from elsewhere. On the other hand, contemporary British culture contains plenty of borrowings from American popular culture, of super-heroes and action movies (the books contain references to, for instance, Star Trek). The adventures of Agent Z might be said to follow a tradition of children's adventure stories first popularised in UK with the writings of Enid Blyton, such as The Famous Five books. A selection of references to British culture in the Agent Z books: Sainsbury’s; Tescos; the Co-op; Arsenal; The Brownies; "knocked for six"; "playing Oranges and Lemons"; "half-chewed Penguin"; "robbing Barclays"; Horse of the Year Show; "sent back to Dartmoor"; "FA Cup Final"; "Match of the Day"; ICI; Max Bygraves.
