The anecdotal and self-deprecating memoirs of a London jewellery designer, his attempts to break into pop music and make his way in the jewellery trade. Star Wars memorabilia and the American rich feature with large scale alcohol consumption and some unforgettable people the source of many scrapes. The 'narrative' ends more peacefully with domestic mishaps. If Chelsea types getting drunk and the luxury trade don't appeal,"they didn't to me", some of the stories are so entertaining and the telling so good that this still makes a great holiday read.
