My most misunderstood book

This book contains under humorous guise many of my favourite obsessions, facts, beliefs, ideas that I have garnered painstakingly for the last 20 years. I had the most fun writing it of any of my books, and both the Barking and Dagenham Recorder and the Broken Hill Mining Radio got it...but no one else did. For some it was a kind of toilet book, full of odd facts. For others it was just another 'how to survive this' kind of book. I see it as an excursion into the kind blue collar polymathy exhibited by both grandfathers- men who could hunt, repair almost anything, build things and make you laugh.
