    Formats & Editions

    We live in an age of waffle, mumbo-jumbo and bad thinking. We're forever being fed dodgy information by so-called experts, scientists, opinion-makers, politicians, journalists and jumped-up little graduates. Their combined bad thinking includes: the idea that no one should win in running races at school, in case the losers get upset

    the idea that owning a house in France is a decent way to spend your money

    the idea that we should all talk about our feelings and that would make things better

    speed cameras

    mineral water

    hummus

    and the fact that everyone reckons they've got asthma. Why do we believe this nonsense? Because, as a nation we've forgotten the basic elements of common sense. Thank God then for Al Murray. Together with the collecting thoughts of hia locals, he's here to put good old-fashioned British common sense back where it belongs.
