Description
Book SynopsisThe Becket List is a not entirely serious compendium of ‘First World Problems’ – the sort of stuff that drives us round the bend on a daily basis. How is it that atonal music, bus stations, cling-film and coat-hangers can bugger us up so comprehensively? Or passport control people, modern poetry, or just about anything you’ll find in a typical hotel bedroom? Embracing both the inanimate – from allen keys to rawlplugs – and the animated (well, in some cases) – from your fellow-travellers to every third-rate waiter who ever walked the earth ¬– this book is essential for your sanity. As such, this comprehensive A to Z provides a signal service to humanity.
Trade Review‘Read it at breakfast, read it at lunch, read it at dinner, read it in bed or the bath and especially on the train. Give it to your friends, give it your family, give it to your enemies indeed’; Nigel Rodgers, author of The Dandy: Peacock or Enigma
