Messengers sees Julian Sayarer return to work as a London bicycle courier, after six months cycling around the world. From saddle & kerbside, his stories of delivering flowers to politicians, & administration notices to banks toppled by the financial crisis, make for a social history of a less seen city, written from the perspective of someone stuck in one of London`s most insecure & poorly paid jobs. Underneath the deliveries, we meet London`s bicycle messengers, a family drawn from jaded graduates, jailbirds & recovering drug addicts. The riders all share their brushes with the law, struggles on the breadline & compete together in alleycat races, forming an unlikely but tender community upon the streets. With a bicycle the one constant that seems to make sense of everything else, Messengers is a two-wheeled portrait of everyday life in a modern city at the start of the twenty-first century. ...

Fresh from a world of deserts, oceans & human kindness Julian Sayarer goes about adjusting back to the hard indifference of a city amongst ever-rising skyscrapers & the turning waters of the Thames. From a bicycle view of the streets, Messengers watches a merry-go-round of media sensation, consumerism & crony politics. Against this background Julian returns to the courier community, so telling the stories of both the jailbirds, drug addicts & alcoholics who can`t hold down any other job, & the fashionable graduates living the bohemian dream in a world of courier races & squat parties. From the saddle & ever-turning pedals, Messengers shows a hidden version of London`s underbelly & those living in the margins of the metropolis. ...

Inexplicably out of print since the late 1940s, Messing About in Boats is one of the most charming & evocative accounts of work & leisure afloat in the years either side of the Great War. John Muir describes with humanity & humour the perils of boat acquisition & ownership by the impecunious, & the somewhat mixed talents of the Paid H&. But his account is more than balanced by the interest & pleasure he took in working & sailing in English waters, from the North Sea to the Bristol Channel, in an age long before the marina, GPS & radio. Muir provides two valuable first-hand accounts of work afloat under steam & sail before the War, while he was on half-paid leave between assignments in the Royal Navy: In the North Sea `boxing` fleet of trawlers which remained on station for weeks on end, where he served in his medical capacity, & later in the Bristol Channel Pilot service, where he crewed on a cutter, delivering the pilot to incoming ships in all weathers. His unfavourable views of the qualities of the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter as a yacht may surprise its aficionados today, but he relented sufficiently to own two of them, Maud & Freda, which feature in the book. ...
