Product Description

Product Description

All you want is a decent cup of tea. But oh no, modern Britain doesn't want to give you that. It wants to sell you a fancy Dan coffee in a mug the size of a popcorn bucket, complete with double cream, chocolate sprinkles, and no change from a five pound note.And that's just for starters. Everywhere you look, modern life has turned common sense completely on its head. Call centres keep you on hold from three different continents. Train doors close thirty seconds before departure. And as if there wasn't enough cheese on your pizza already, they're now stuffing it into your crust as well.From speed cameras to organic vegetables, mobile phones to celebrity idiots, this hilarious new book lays bare the sheer lunacy of modern living. "One Grump or Two" is for everyone who has ever found Great Britain is starting to grate, and dreams of a world where football matches start at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, the top forty is full of songs you can whistle in the bath, and cafes still serve you a proper cup of tea.This is the hilarious new book that gets Britain told. It is jam packed with everything that makes you cross about the modern world. From traffic wardens to overpaid footballers, its both barrels all round. It is the perfect gift for the Grumpy Old Man - or woman - in your life.

Guy that I work with had this brought for him for his birthday. He referrs to it on a daily basis when he has something to 'Grump' about. I thought it was so good that I brought it for my dad for him birthday and he loves it. Great book full of Grumps that you wish you ahd thought of before. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, 14 Feb 2009
By Springertea (Dundee, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Bought this for my Dad at Christmas. Perfect for him as he is becoming increasingly hard to buy for. He read it in one day, but still worth the money.
