2006's Eats Shoots and Leaves, by some accounts.

I suspect as much. I do like the look of it though, I may go and have a wander into Waterstones later. My son would love it. As would his dad, no doubt.

Yep, I've already read that blot, and it's a beaut.

Don't think Shirley would like it though.

As would his mother, reading between the lines ....

Blot/FW2 - My missus picked up that book (Ukrainian tractors) as a likely good read while we were on the way to Azerbaijan (a former Soviet State). She got some strange looks reading it in public in Baku.

Sez_les . I have a friend whose dad was Ukrainian and his eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw the book in our house last year.

Getting back to the original topic....from today's Grauniad.
