An account, sometimes touching and often hilarious, of a group of rebellious and gifted teenagers at the same school (and to a lesser extent of their parents and teachers), during the 1970s in Birmingham. Industrial strife with a three day week and the destruction of the car industry by the unions just before the start of the Thatcher years forms the backcloth to this highly entertaining satire. I strongly recommend it.
