Copertina di Will Jackson: Bonkers Britain (ePUB)

Having a good old moan about little everyday frustrations is a quintessential part of being British, and when it comes to barmy bureaucracy we can really get our knickers in a twist! This book collects the most mind-boggling and side-splitting examples of potty political correctness, ridiculous red tape and well-intentioned (but ultimately wacky) warnings from across bonkers Britain today. Discover the infallible logic that inspired a toy manufacturer to point out to customers that its plastic broomstick doesn t really fly, the dutiful consideration that led to sex being described as cooperative physical fitness , and the forward thinking that resulted in a sign advising against hogging the middle lane being displayed on a two-lane motorway. But be warned: this book may induce bouts of uncontrollable laughter and should only be used by those properly trained in lifting books and turning pages.
