The Pub Landlord's Book of British Common Sense - Thryft

Satirical wisdom wrapped in British pub banter.

If you're itching for a laugh wrapped in a blanket of unabashed nostalgia for British common sense, then Al Murray's "The Pub Landlord's Book of British Common Sense" could just hit the spot. It's a satirical take on modern absurdities that champions the wisdom often overheard at your local pub. You'll chuckle, you might cringe, but you'll definitely recognize the frank and ironic humor that tackles everyday observations. Plus, it's a bit like having a pint with a friend who has no filter – refreshing and, at times, eye-opening.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

We live in an age of waffle, mumbo-jumbo and bad thinking. We're forever being fed dodgy information by so-called experts, scientists, opinion-makers, politicians, journalists and jumped-up little graduates. Their combined bad thinking * 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 (France!) is a decent way to spend your money * the idea that we should all talk about our feelings and that would make things better * speed cameras * mineral water * hummus * and the fact that everyone reckons they've got asthma. Get a grip! Why do we believe this nonsense? Because, as a nation we've forgotten the basic elements of common sense. Thank God then for Al Murray. He's here to put good old fashioned British common sense back where it belongs. This book brings together the wit and wisdom of the Pub Landlord, and the collective thoughts of the locals at Al's pub. Together they speak for generations of down-to-earth, normal, hard working, honest, sensible, normal, law abiding, tax paying (ish), normal, hard working, honourable, decent, reasonable people.
