Simon Hoggart is back with a new treasure-trove of Christmas post illustrates the seven deadly sins of the middle classes, including boastfulness (dazzlingly clever children who play the saxophone and ski for Britain); smugness (their jobs, their houses, their holidays are all perfect); tiny-mindedness (do we really need to be told how to start a jigsaw by looking for the straight bits?), whimsy (letters written by pets, even dead ones); and the dreaded over-sharing, in which every illness and operation is described in minute detail.

Releasing at BXNI meetup

Caught at Belfast BC Meetup in John Hewitt Bar last night.

Hadn't realised this was a Xmas book, so putting it aside for Xmas 2019.

As I'm moving house before Christmas, this will have to go. But perhaps this is better timing and will prevent any silliness from whoever catches and indeed reads this book. It is indeed too true!!
