A gently and very very funny journey around bygone Britain.

Bill Bryson, an American, has travelled by public transport around Britain. In doing so he reveals to us, the British, the unexpected treasures, absurdities and unintentional humour which permeates our lives. He pokes fun at the people he meets along the way, and at us in general. But he pokes gently and itis clear that although he is "foreign", deep down he is one of us, respects us and loves us.

The book will, in parts, have you laughing out loud.Read full review...

What a pick me up

After many years I recently decided to read the Bill Bryson books again.
I haven't stopped laughing since I picked the book up.
If you want a book that will lift your spirits and make you laugh then read this and indeed all of Britons works.

The way it was 👍

It reminds me of a nicer pace of life before the politically correct brigade took over
