In this book, Jon Gaunt, Sony award winning journalist and radio 'Shock Jock' lists the things that are great about Britain. He describes many, but my favourites include:
5. The sight of Britain growing smaller and smaller as you wing your way to a beano in Cyprus.
4. The laws that allow for the mistakes of bankrupts to gradually be forgotten about.
3. The Sony awards system, which rewards whole show output but whose allocation is so vague as to be easily claimed by anyone involved in winning formats.
2. What one man can do with two cups.
1. How nepotism is such a British trait that one might even endure failure after failure and the bare minimum of preparation in a job at a workplace run by your mate.
A fine book indeed!
