A hilarious gift book to help Remainers cope in the run-up to the fateful Brexit moment.
'So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to EU and EU and EU'
So sing the 16,141,241 of us who voted Remain on 23 June 2016 as we career head first into the oncoming traffic of independence from the EU sometime soon. March 2019 is the cursory date for exit and the story of Brexit will continue to rumble on, as will disgruntled Remainers and smug Leavers.
The Brexit Souvenir Treasury will take you back to the Good Old Days where £100 would get you €145, enough to get to Calais and back with four cases of wine and still have enough left over for a croque-monsieur and a café au lait. With activities and fun games aplenty, with this old-school treasury you can put on your blue-and-yellow-tinted glasses and lose yourself in the warm glow of the European dream for at least the next 30 years, after which another EU referendum might give us the opportunity to return to the European fold.

"This does indeed deserve comparisons with Blackadder" Radio Times
"A knockabout, well-researched take on the working and domestic
life of Shakespeare." The Guardian It's the 1590s. William
Shakespeare - brought to life on screen by the inimitable David
Mitchell - is at the start of his career. But no one is taking him
seriously. In London, he is mercilessly mocked by his rivals and at
home in Stratford he is belittled by his sullen teenage daughter.
Yet he is determined to find an ending for his newest creation
Romeo and Juliet. Luckily, inspiration is forthcoming. The trials
and tribulations of his closest friends and family reveal the plot
twists he'd been missing. And not only for this famous tragedy but
for many of his finest plays. With sparkling wordplay, hilarious
gags and his trademark wit, Ben Elton celebrates the great William
Shakespeare and reveals the startling stories behind the
playwright's best-known plays.
