Far From The Sodding Crowd July 23, 2008
Like its predecessor, Bollocks To Alton Towers, this is a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read which puts a host of (usually unheard of) places onto your "Must Visit" list. As well as being informative it is amusing and witty; even the footnotes are unmissable. At times it is real laugh-aloud material. I bought this as a present for my sister in Canada who loved "Bollocks" and am now going to purchase a copy to keep for myself. Hope the team get around to visiting enough quirky places to produce another volume!

Be careful - Same Book? Far from the Sodding Crowd: More Uncommonly British Days Out (Hardcover) June 9, 2008

Fantastic book, great fun and I want to go to all of them! BUT...be careful, this is a paperback version of Far from the Sodding Crowd: More Uncommonly British Days Out (Hardcover). Sneaky!
A great follow up July 8, 2007

The follow on to the marvellous 'Bollocks to Alton Towers', this does not disappoint with a treasure trove of more uncommonly British days out.
My head is now full of places I want to visit. The entries have a humourous feel and put you in the right frame of mind to appreciate some of our lesser known attractions and heritage.
I am mostly looking forward to The Margate Shell Grotto, Dunwich, Bressingham Steam museum & the National Fruit Collection.
Touching and fitting is the epilogue dedicated to the Wicker Man's legs, nicked by some moron just before the book went to publication.
If you want to get away from the sodding crowd for a cheaper and probably more forfilling day out then this book will hold many ideas for you.
Wherever you go, take this book! May 1, 2007

Ha ha, excellent. I've often wondered why we Britons seem to have centralised our leisure and entertainment. Or indeed, why it has been done for us. In days gone by, an evening at the cinema, pub, club etc would mean taxis or buses to different venues. Nowadays they seem to be all under one vast shopping centre roof. I mean, how can we possibly get excited by going to the far end of a shopping centre on a Saturday night - to the local Beefeater - to the dancing? This book sorts us out. I've visited a couple of the more wayward attractions listed and they're well worth it. The Blantyre Tie Museum was very interesting. They have over 50 ties from around Britain, in several different patterns and colours. My favourite was dark blue with white horizontal stripes. Another good day out was to the Wishaw Tiger Club. Obviously they don't have any live tigers, only a couple of stuffed ones. However they have loads of photos and if you want to talk tigers then the club members are for you! Jason Hazeley has done an excellent job with this book and will encourage a few more of us to tear ourselves away from the mainstream, drink real ale, watch BBC2 and holiday in Cornwall.
