The Inbetweeners Year Book

Dear Respected Online
Customer Welcome to the
page of the first ever
official Rudge Park
yearbook. And thank you
very much in advance for
purchasing the book at
the incredibly reasonable
price they are bound to
be selling it at. When I
put myself forward to be
the editor of the
yearbook, my Head of
Sixth Form Mr Gilbert was
the first to wish me
words of wisdom and
support. His actual words
- 'Well, McKenzie, I'm
looking forward to seeing
how you piss this one up'
- were the inspiration
behind this book. Sadly,
and this is not an
apology, due to a print
schedule that can only be
described as fascistic,
I wasn't able to finish
the book to my exact
liking. However, I was
very lucky that my
'friends', Jay
Cartwright, Simon Cooper
and Neil Sutherland
decided to supply a lot
of the material So,
inside this 'masterpiece'
(Polly McKenzie) you'll
find: Simon's Love
Poetry, Jay's A-Z of Sex
and (nonsensical)
Business Plan, the
Camber Sands Caravan Club
newsletter, Neil's
Biology coursework,
entitled Do You Put the
Balls In? and his map of
Rudge Park, along with
some incisive pieces of
journalism, most likely
written by me. And
there's lots of other
random stuff which has
never seen the light of
day. God knows how it got
in there. It is my
greatest, and only,
achievement from my two
years at Rudge Park. May
it bring you years of
happiness and joy, and
not just on the toilet.

What The Grown-Ups Were Doing

Michele Hanson grew up an
oddball tomboy
disappointment in a
Jewish family in Ruislip
in the 1950s - a suburban
Metroland idyll of neat
lawns, bridge parties
and Martini socials. Yet
this shopfront of
respectability masked a
multitude of anxieties
and salacious goings-on.
Was Shirleys mother
really having an affair
with the man from the
carpet shop? Did
chatterbox Dora Colborne
harbour unspeakable
desires for Micheles
sulky dad? Whose
Battenburg cake was the
best? An atmosphere of
intense rivalry prevails,
with Micheles mum
suspicious of her
non-Jewish neighbours
personal habits, and
Michele very wary of
childrens games like
Doctors and Nurses that
might bring bottoms into
the equation. And with
glamorous, scheming
Auntie Celia swanning
around in silk dresses
demanding attention,
Michele has a lot to
contend with. Only the
annual holidays to the
south of France relieve
the tension. This
hilarious and wonderfully
evocative memoir charts
Micheles childhood and
coming of age in a
Britain that was emerging
from post-war austerity
into the days of youve
never had it so good. It
is a characterful and
affectionate look at a
way of British life long
since disappeared but one
for which we continue to
hold huge affection.
