They're all foreigners abroad by Stuart Wright

-

Why do the Brits have such a bad reputation whilst on their holidays abroad?

"I would challenge anyone to read the book and then say that they didn't recognize themselves somewhere. You may not want to admit it but you're in there somewhere!" - Stuart Wright

    Hilarious. Ok, it's not going to win a Booker prize, but who wants one of those on holiday.
    The best part is (and this is where English humour scores), you end up laughing at yourself, or someone you know, because we're all the same abroad aren't we.

    I think that the best humour ultimately always lies where we laugh at ourselves. I'll add this to my 'to read' list.

    Really excellent read, very funny, it perfectly reflects all the idiosyncrasies of many races abroad.

    Kept me laughing and if you cannot recognise anything about yourself in here you should go and see a physiatrist. Also lent it to my German in-laws and they read it cover to cover, I am not sure if they found the commentary on Brits funny or saw themselves in it, but it just proves that Stuart Wright's material transcends international barriers.

    Well done and will keep my eye out for the next one...

Earning a Crust - Logic doesn’t come into it

Fascinating and engaging autobiography of career after Royal Air Force service. By Derek Rosser The author’s literary efforts covering his experiences as a National Serviceman in the RAF in the 1950s (A Reluctant Recruit) generated such a favourable reception, so much so that he embarked on a second, more or less true, account of his life as a typical boy growing up in the thirties and forties (Call Me Valentine). This is his third book, completing the trilogy. It is the account of what happened to him after leaving the Royal Air Force; it is the story of a long, and mainly happy, interesting working career. The author Derek Rosser says: “For the best part of forty years I was engaged in trying to earn enough money to keep body and soul together. Some of it was enjoyable, some of it was frustrating and some of it was downright misery….” …Find out more… ‘Earning a Crust’, an entertaining read! “A fascinating autobiography” …publishedbestsellers.com
