David Bennun had lived in Africa his whole life. At the age of 18 he came to Britain, the mother country. The country he had read about in ” Punch” magazine or seen in films like ” Chariots of Fire”. He was in for a shock. A very big shock indeed: `I could not have been less prepared had I spent my life up to that point listening to 30-year-old broadcasts of the ” Light Programme”.` In this timely follow-up to the critically acclaimed ” Tick Bite Fever”, David Bennun shows us our own country through the eyes of an alien. With his brilliantly witty turn of phrase we follow his life as a student, his brushes with Bohemia, his troubles renting & buying property, his discovery of British food & his horrors at entering the world of work. From DIY to architecture, sport to alcohol, transport to music & entertainment, David Bennun brilliantly & with ruthless wit deconstructs all these subjects, many of them so dear to the British heart. ...

An elegant folding table with a touch of nautical charm. French-finished wood & solid brass hardware, this table is easy to fold, maneuver, & transport making it the perfect addition for a busy household. Constructed in rich mahogany with five varnish & lacquer coating. Traveling through Provence, our picnic sojourn was to a medieval abbey not far away.
