Synopses & Reviews
Towns, cities, and counties all come in for some scathing criticism in this bad-tempered and thoroughly entertaining journey around the British Isles (or, as the Irish insist on calling them, the Hibernian Archipelago). Go from the nauseatingly Nordic Shetlands to the suspiciously Froggy Channel Islands, to the heaving Sodom of the south coast” (Brighton). And its not just the places that come in for a hammeringits the people too! More than 1,000 quotations are collated and arranged by place, taken from a diverse range of sources, including many shockingly unreserved football chants, all for your perverse pleasure!
