The Total Joy of Travelling on Public Transport
£2.80
Ah, the total joy of travelling on public transport. Do you love travelling with the delightfully varied public and their dubious electronic gadgets and often odious habits? Do you mind when the person behind you has a full blown argument on their mobile phone with the speaker positioned at extra loud, just so you are sure to get both argumentative sides of the mutual yelling? Is it OK for someone to apply their nail polish on a hot bus, thereby nearly choking the other passengers to death with the toxic fumes? Would special mobile confessionals built into modes of public transport ease the congestion of verbal diarrhoea from total strangers? Do you balk at getting up close and personal with the great unwashed? Are you the kind of person that finds the joys of travelling on public transport highly amusing, or would you rather just throw yourself under a bus?

Fascinating read funny
by Colly
It’s ‘unputdownable’ There is a certain amount of poetic license here but humorous nevertheless.
One recognises some of the characters! Well worth buying for the modest price.
by Roseline Swain
I wouldn’t normally pick up this type of book, but just fancied something amusing to read. I personally hate public transport, so thought I’d give it a go. I was not disappointed. Beautifully observed, anyone who travels on public transport will recognise these characters! From stroppy teenagers, to fractious children, drunks and people who squash you to death in your seat – all human life is here. If you are from Nottingham, even better, as most of the book is based there. Phil’s observations and ability to make sense out of the absurd is very clever, and he has a real talent for description. I’m actually there, on the bus with him, wiping at the steamed up window and listening to such bizarre comments as: “White dog poo? Haven’t seen any in years. I wonder if it is to do with Brexit?”
If you fancy a lovely, light-heated book to pick up and read – maybe on your own bus journey – this is for you.

I purchased this book on a whim and I am extremely glad that I did! The author’s wit and constant humour shines throughout, as well as their total understanding for the pain that is (or can be) public transport. The book is a small read, but just the right length if you are after a bit of light-hearted fun. A thorough joy to read!
by T. L. Brookes
Fantastic easy pick up read ! Would be a great book to read on public transport on your daily commute. Really easy to pick up with really short stories and situations that the author has encountered, which makes it easy to dip in and out – apart from you keep reading and don’t stop!

This book is a delight! The author colours a mundane subject with charm, wit and humour.
I can’t wait for the follow up!

Funny, sarcastic, truthful, a very entertaining read by a very intellectual observant author, I’d highly recommend for a light hearted down to earth read
by Paul Chapman
Total joy to read. Very funny and unfortunately, as a regular user of public transport, easy to relate to. Highly recommended. Funny and easy to relate to.
