Five years in the writing and with chapters covering all the arts, education and food this engaging and witty book deserves to be considered the 'Grumpy Old Man's' bible. Using quotes from a huge range of both familiar and obscure sources, a window is opened on the world of disaffection and it seems that throughout history individuals have been unhappy with the way things are, the way they were and the way they are going!
