This is the story of an ordinary man who had a true love of the sea, but as a consequence of the war had to deal, as did many others, with extraordinary experiences. Leaving his Cornish village of Landewednack in 1921 Charles, then aged fifteen, began his career in the Merchant Navy as a 2nd Class Saloon Boy with the Union Castle Line travelling to South Africa. He moved on to work on the Great Western Railways Channel Island Ferry, working his way up to 2nd then 1st Class Assistant Steward. Before long he was in the Mediterranean working on a cable ship, and for the next ten years on a cargo freighter travelling to Australia and New Zealand. At the outbreak of World War II Charles signed T124X Articles and joined the Royal Navy as 2nd Steward, subsequently rated at Chief Petty Officer and eventually Chief Steward 1st Class. He saw service in several 'theatres of war' including two Russian Convoys and in the Mediterranean (North Africa and Salerno) before being released from Naval Service in 1946. Following this, Charles, like a lot of people who had served in the war, suffered from ill-health and consequently never went to sea again: starting 'another life ashore' with his family.

Reaching 60 is huge.I had to do something to mark my big birthday! I hit upon the original idea of travelling a mile in 60 different ways during my birthday year. Trying to think of 60 felt like a challenge in itself, not to mention that twelve months in the year meant I had to achieve an average of five per month!

I had great fun and felt a tremendous sense of achievement as one by one I ticked them off.I had a wonderful year culminating in a great party for which I had been determined to lose weight. Did I succeed? I should have done as I had a whole year…….but did I????

At 17 he joined the Merchant Navy and travelled extensively while working as a cook.

"I was having a dispute with my wife-she pulled my hair causing me to turn into a lamp standard!" This is but one of the many excuses used by motor accident claimants. Many more of his favourites and quirkiest have been chosen by the author and included in the chapter "We Arnott Amused". From humble and often homeless beginnings the author succeeded in building one of the country's largest car insurance businesses and this, his second book, reveals his inside account of the Lloyds of London scandals, his own failings and of those involved in his business life, including his MD Brooks Mileson who went on to achieve fame-and notoriety-as Chairman of Gretna FC during their fairy-tale adventure into Europe. Many people dream of being their own boss. This book may encourage them to go for it-or maybe forget it. It contains some vital lessons, advice and pitfalls for the would-be entrepreneur and some stark reminders that it is not for the fainthearted. A sort o' sequel to the author's sort o' autobiography Social, Domestic and Pleasure, this is a fascinating account of "A People Business". "A wealth of material"-The Literary Consultancy.

"Spice is the variety of life."-This is one of the book's many "Chrissarisms" and just about sums it up. The book brings together, in the words of The Literary Consultancy, "a wealth of material." Described as "a sort of autobiography", it is not just about a boy who, from humble beginnings, created one of the country's leading car insurance businesses. It is much, much more than that. In a series of mini biographies you will meet characters like Tramlines Taylor and some of the author's irresponsible drinking companions like Alan the Gallon and Patsy, an eclectic version of several of them. The author's confrontations with authority in "Gypsies" and "DA versus the FA & Others" are described in detail and his views on religion, democracy, political correctness, crime (especially paedophilia) and punishment are bound to raise a few eyebrows. The ups and downs of Lloyds of London, the 'We Arnott Insured' slogan and the people involved, including the Chairman of Gretna FC during their fairy tale journey into Europe, are featured in Volume II: Accidental Millionaire.

What happens when all heaven breaks loose? The idyllic setting of a university town on the Mid-Wales coast. New arrivals from various parts of Britain, exhilarated and apprehensive at the prospect of grappling with the unfamiliar, in learning, ideas - and life. Four boys, extrovert, loner, poetry lover, aspiring intellectual. A malapropistic landlady. Three girls, one worldly, one demurely innocent, one full of adolescent ardour. A lecturer and would-be writer romantically inclined towards his students. And ever-present in all its moods, watching the human drama unfold, inspirer and tempter, lovely and sinister, the sea. The situation is ripe for a series of adventures, by turns comic, traumatic, poignant and, for one of the characters, ultimately tragic.

Disorderly Fields is a memoir-based account of the author's experiences of seasonal work from 1980 to 1993 in the UK, Greece, Israel, Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand. It is a gritty, funny, sad and absorbingly interesting record of the pleasures and vagaries of a life lived in camps throughout the world, picking fruit and vegetables where such work can be found-and it is often an exposé of the sometimes brutal, crude work and living conditions, recorded as it was observed. The account is void of political correctness because it had yet to be invented-and still doesn't really exist in seasonal circuits. Disorderly Fields is the second work in this genre. The first observations of a seasonal worker was published in 1990 under the same title. It was serialized in the travel journal The Overseas Jobs Express, whose editor also commissioned the author to co-write two relevant books. All in all, about 30,000 readers have read the first work. The author became an authority on seasonal work and has been interviewed on radio and interviewed for The Times, and invited on radio and television.
