Format:Hardcover
I found this book so funny that I don't really care if it is accurate or not. The burning sofa incident in Sunderland made me wet myself. The slating of my own town (Bedford) was also brilliant(and a little tragic).I have never met anyone who actually raves about where they live which is just as well because a book praising places would be quite dull. This isnt.

I like this almost more than the first one. It's probably funnier and some of the facts about the towns (not to mention HRH the Queen, famous resident of Windsor) are just incredible.

A friend rang me to ask if I new any stories about 'burning sofas', when I told him I did and asked him how he knew. It turned out that he was calling from a bookshop and had found my story describing how crap Sunderland was in the Crap Towns II Book. So I purchased the book and haven't stopped laughing since. Believe me knowing Sunderland the contributors have got it spot-on and if the tails about the other towns are true then it could be an invaluable guide.

It's a sequel dummy
Yes, it's much like the first one. Yes, it's funny. No, it's not massively concise, but it does give you an idea of what's going on....we're about to move house. Read more

Okay, I suppose
Basically the same formula as the last one, which does make it read a little like a cut and paste. If you read the last one you could probably just scribble out the names from the... Read more
