Product Description

Product Description

Chin up, Britain! Now is the time to return to basic commonsense and embrace a new austerity. Can’t afford a holiday? Slather on some sun tan lotion that smells of coconuts, at least you’ll smell like you’re on holiday. Don’t know what to do with a left-over half a banana? Discard it surreptitiously on the floor of a government-owned building, ‘accidentally’ slip on it and claim thousands of pounds of compensation. Can’t afford new shoes? Polish your old ones. And if all else fails, why not sell your children on ebay?


In her inimitable style, Jenny Éclair brings you helpful and hilarious tips for changing the way you live, including beauty on a budget, identifying your swappable skills (burying dead animals, tuning a freeview box), improving manners on public transport, the fine art of ‘out-presenting’ and a guide to gate-crashing.


 

About the Author

Jenny Éclair is a much-loved stand-up comedian, and is the first female winner of the Perrier award. She’s also a successful novelist, and co-creator of the Grumpy Old Women brand. ‘Grumpy’ began as television show, then became a series of best-selling books and a stage show, which Jenny both co-wrote and starred in. The second Grumpy Old Women stage show toured the country last year, and was a sell-out. Jenny has just finished another successful run in the West End.

Funny book 29 Dec 2010

Pressy for mum as she saw Jenny Eclair on TV and liked sound of book. It had her laughing quite a lot I'm glad to say. It's on my bookshelf waiting for me to read now.
