[GuB-42]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is British.

Also, I know it, it has been translated in my language (French), the movie made out to the theaters, and we even have a well known school named after it (42). So it is known even to non-English speakers.

It is, the question is it known or just there is a vague knowledge about it.
