The final volume of the Croydon Boy trilogy, covering the period from 1990 to the present.History didn’t end in 1990 after all. In fact, everything started to go haywire. Radical Islamists hi-jacked four jets and aimed them at New York and Washington DC. The world financial system almost collapsed. Scientists warned that the planet was incinerating. Men started wearing dresses and claiming they were women. Britain tore itself in two over Brexit. Russia launched a war in Eastern Europe while the Chinese unleashed a deadly, global pandemic. And our phones became smarter than we are.Tip-toeing his way through all this chaos, Peter Saunders had problems of his own to sort out. How do you divide the LPs when you get divorced? Can pornography offer a cure for a broken heart? What can you do with old friendships after they’ve grown stale? Can an allotment really be the answer to a happy and fulfilling retirement? Why are we better at communicating with dogs than we are with Frenchmen? And is the secret of the meaning of life hidden in a place called Southbridge Junction?In this final volume in The Croydon Boy trilogy, Saunders brings a lifetime of sociological insight to bear on the question of how to survive life in Britain in a new Millennium that has gone completely crackers.

  • Croydon Boy (paperback)
    Peter Saunders
