We live in an age of waffle mumbo-jumbo & bad thinking. We're forever being fed dodgy information by so-called experts scientists opinion-makers politicians journalists & jumped-up little graduates. Their combined bad thinking
Includes:: *the idea that no one should win in running races at school in case the losers get upset *the idea that owning a house in France is a decent way to spend your money *the idea that we should all talk about our feelings & that would make things better *speed cameras *mineral water *hummus *and the fact that everyone reckons they've got asthma.

Together with the collecting thoughts of hia locals he's here to put good old-fashioned British common sense back where it belongs.
