*Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1978*
Found on the bookshelf at a Torquay Backpacker hostel. This is a lovely little hardcover and a must read on my quest to conquer the Booker Prize shortlist archive.

I really struggled with this book. I was most definitely not the target audience for it and felt the humour and 'issues' about as flacid as Jake's thing was at times. Middle aged issues as viewed, dealt with and told by a man. Extremely British humour and situation comedy. Jake's thing, not my thing.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Left on the book table in the View Tube cafe while meeting up some folk from Twitter. I was moored at Old Ford Lock so the wander around the Greenway was a pleasant Sunday stroll.

This is still in the book corner with a lot of children's books (!), albeit now in a cafe called Timber Lodge in the Olympic Park. First book I've found in the wild for years! Leaving it for another reader as I picked up another book instead and had none with me to leave. (I'm sure I have a couple of your other books BTW... :)
