&#39;A splendid romp. Vive la France!&#39;<br>Peter Mayle, author of &#39;A Year in Provence&#39; and many other bestsellers<br><br>&#39;Mike Buchanan is the best kind of opinionated, middle-aged, middle-class Englishman abroad: the funny kind.&#39;<br>Andy Heslop<br><br>&#39;If you have a sense of humour, this book will put a big smile on your face. I laughed out loud many times. A refreshing absence of political correctness.&#39;<br>The lovely Maureen Padley<br><br>Political correctness is a curse of the modern era. This book is not politically correct. And it celebrates la belle France: the beautiful ladies, the fine food and wine, the glorious scenery and weather, and more besides. If you&#39;re offended by the book&#39;s contents, kindly moan about it to someone else, not the author. He&#39;s had more than his fill of being moaned at over the years. Mike Buchanan is a 50-year-old overweight diabetic short-sighted businessman and published author, who lives in Bedford. He&#39;s been a Francophile for as long as he can remember, and is rarely happier than when holidaying in France. In August 2007, following the breakdown of his second marriage, he took a holiday in France with his chauffeur, the (equally) politically-incorrect Thunderin&#39; Paul Carrington. The two men enjoyed themselves so much that they took a second holiday in France in July 2008. This book relates the story of both holidays, in chapters with the following titles:<br><br>1 Our first week with Anne and Mark Phillips<br>2 Why my dinner cost 40 times more than Paul&#39;s<br>3 Hobnobbing with Ivana Trump in Monte Carlo<br>4 &#39;Would you like to have sex with my wife?&#39;<br>5 We witness a miracle in Lourdes<br>6 In defence of pate de foie gras<br>7 Paul worries about becoming a gay icon<br>8 Nuits-St-Georges is twinned with Hitchin<br>9 &#39;It&#39;s always better if you have a big one!&#39; Получить ссылку
