Format:Hardcover
This book made me laugh out loud on the train home. It is clever, wry, witty and very funny, with ingenious twists of double meanings "Fair, all the fun of the .. 1. What blondes have. 2. The sheer joy of forking over twenty of thirty quid in the pursuit of a cankerous goldfish of a giant inflatable alien" or "Dastard .. Someone who annoys a ventriloquist." Or my favourite, "Encumber .. To adorn with cucumbers" I could go on and on! It's the funniest book I've read in a long time.

This is a brilliant book of witty definitions interspersed with quirky cartoons. A wonderful blend of wry humour and laugh-out-loud fun. The perfect present for anyone who loves playing with words or raises an eyebrow at some of the idiosyncrasies that make Britain what it is. Great to dip into when you need something to put a smile back on your face!
