Product Description

Product Description

"Apparently your brother maintained the belief that having sex with an inflatable rubber woman was almost as beneficial in creating a feeling of well-being as the real thing. This being the case he viewed his operation more like a public service than a moneymaking operation. Which isn't to say he didn't make substantial profits from the sales," said the solicitor to Hugh Pugh.
The Secretary of State for Transport's heart beat faster. Substantial profits. What a wonderful coming together of words.

And many more wonderful words come together in Terry Ravenscroft's hilarious take on politics and the sex toys industry (and one particular politician actually IN the sex toys industry).

Extracts from just a couple of several Amazon Customer 5 Star reviews.

Mr. R. Biggin - I think I may have an internal injury after reading this due to uncontrollable laughter. I have not enjoyed anything so much since the author's other books. A wonderful sense of humour to lift the gloom.

Mr. B. M. Jenkins "Barry" - I found this such an enjoyable read. The story is so absurdly ridiculous that I can't even imagine how the idea was conceived. Had me laughing out loud several times.

*******************************************************************************************

We couldn’t be meeting The Right Hon Hugh Pugh, MP, Secretary of State for Transport, at a worse time. The next general election is only months away and it’s a racing certainty that following it he will be out of a job. As things stand at the moment he can only just keep his head above water on his ministerial income, plus what he’s still able to fiddle on expenses. With maintenance payments to make to three ex-wives, three of his children at private schools, and the latest in a string of high-maintenance girlfriends to keep fed, shod and watered, his future doesn’t bear thinking about. But fate now takes a hand when he inherits his late brother’s inflatable rubber woman factory. Salvation! Hugh Pugh breathes a sigh of relief; a comfortable future is now guaranteed. However he hasn’t reckoned with the twin forces of Vigilantes Against Sex Toys, and Elton Arbuckle, an undergraduate reading Sex and Inflatable Rubber Woman Studies at Cleek University.

Pugh's heart beat faster. Substantial profits. What a wonderful coming together of words.

With the above opening paragraph of Inflatable Hugh I was hooked. Terry Ravenscroft's tongue in cheek writing had me laughing out loud from beginning to end. From the wily to the ingenuous, from the morally indignant Vigilantes Against Sex Toys to the crafty machinations of politicians, all are depicted with subtle insight into character. In recommending this as a `great' read I could only paraphrase the author's own writing: What a delightful coming together of words!

I discovered Terry Ravenscroft's brilliant humour when I downloaded his 'Stairlift to Heaven. Since then I've been busily devouring as many of his wonderful stories as possible. As a matter of fact I now have them all on my Kindle, just waiting to be laughed out loud to.

Terry was a script writer for the great and glorious from the classic TV comedy shows of a bygone era. But I really wished he hadn't been. Not because I think he wasn't any good, (a look at his Les Dawson's Cissie and Ada book proves just how good he was) but if he hadn't chosen script writing for a career we wouldn't have had to wait until he retired to read his wonderful stories.

Keep writing, Terry, and I'll keep downloading and if you've any sense, oh reader of this review, you'll do just the same.

I think I may have an internal injury after reading this,due to uncontrollable laughter.I have not enjoyed anything so much since the author's other books. The new addition on 1st October is on my wish list. A wonderful sense of humour to lift the gloom.

Sorry - didn't get it
Humour is subjective and I'm afraid that Mr Ravenscroft and I do not share the same funny bones.
I'm particularly attracted to clever wordplay and the 'about the author' line... Read more
