The Wit and Wisdom of an Ordinary Subject

A compilation of letters and other writings, published and unpublished, sent to UK national newspapers and a variety of other publications - beer to Bradman, deterrence to Downton Abbey, mathematics to mobile phones - one man's take on the subjects of the day. "You will not be able to put it down. Completely absorbing. It is everything that you wished that you had said, but much better expressed. Variously - acerbic; thoughtful; penetrating; witty and perceptive. A rich seam of responses to political events; cricket; pomposity and everyday life. It is hugely enjoyable." The Lord Dear QPM, former HM Inspector of Constabulary.
