You Certainly Couldn't Make It Up

For the fifth year running, former Fleet Street man Jack Crossley has compiled another laugh-out-loud collection of anecdotes and strange goings-on from around the British Isles which are so outlandish, you certainly couldn't make them up. This wonderful, inimitable miscellany celebrates he eccentricity, bizarre bureaucracy and outright oddity of life in Britain today. Even when the rest of the news is doom-laden, the hundreds of snippets here won't fail to raise a laugh.

Jack Crossley is a leading journalist who has written for pretty much every newspaper you can mention. He has a keen eye for the weird and the wonderful of British life, wich he captures with such precision in this charming book.
