I've come across this tricky idiom on newspaper, stating:
"Britain is sometimes called a nation of collectors. This is never more true than when a royal wedding is about to take place"
Can someone tell me the meaning of the idiom and the correct usage of it by quoting an example sentence or two.
Thanks in advance
Can someone explain the idiom "this is never more true than...:?

Same as saying, "This is absolutely true when....."
ex. "My family is so odd. [This is never more true than when] my father starts screaming for no apparent reason."
"My family is so odd. [This is absolutely true when] my father starts screaming for no apparent reason."

It just means, basically, "for example".
Britain is a nation or collectors, such as when a royal wedding is coming.
