Notes On Them And Us
£10.87
Britain & America have a new word to describe their relationship: essential has now been replaced by special. Justin Webb would prefer all adjectives to be abandoned in an effort to tell the real story. Notes on Them & Us is a wry account of the transatlantic friendship as it actually exists today
- how Americans see us how we Brits see them
- & Webb presenter on Radio 4s Today programme & formerly the BBCs North American editor for eight years is perfectly placed to comment. An amusing myth-breaking unflinchingly honest read this is not an attack on either the English or the Americans. Webb concludes that there is a fault line in the long-standing marriage between these two great nations a cultural divide that separates us. & he argues that recognising this divide even celebrating it is the key to a rich future collaboration.

Notes To My
Mother-in-Law
£5.99
' My mother-in-law Annie lived with us for 17 years & was picture-book perfect.' It took a while before the family realised that Annie was increasingly (as she would put it) ' Mutt & Jeff'. So Phyllida began to write out the day's gossip at the kitchen table putting her notes by Annie's bed before going to hers. One night as her husband wandered off to bed he muttered darkly that she spent so much time each evening writing to Annie she could have written a book. ' And illustrated it!' Here it is. It is a book full of the delights of a warm & loving household. Of Boot the Cat being sick after over-indulging in spiders; the hunt for cleaning products from the dawn of time; persistently & mysteriously malfunctioning hearing aids; an unusual & potentially hilarious use for a clove of garlic; & the sad disappearance of coconut logs from the local sweetshop. It's about the special place at the heart of a home held by a woman born in another age. Who polished the brass when it was 'looking red at her'. Who still bore a scar from being hit by her employer when as a young woman she was in service. Who could turn the heel of a sock & the collar of a shirt & make rock-cakes bread pudding & breast of lamb with barley. ...
