A fun and informative trip around the highways (not forgetting the
low ways) and byways of Great Britain. Within its pages you will
find love and romance, murder and mayhem, royalty, aristocrats and
commoners, politics and politicians, sex and scandal, sporting
triumphs and sporting disasters, millionaires and eccentrics, film
stars and train robbers and much more besides. Why were some
customers at Harrods offered cognac or smelling salts during their
visit to the store? What links DJ “Whispering Bob” Harris to a
split pair of velvet trousers? Which high street store issued a
patent for a drug to treat syphilis? The staff of which shop had
uniforms by Mary Quant and hairstyles by Vidal Sassoon? Who placed
a sign on her bedroom door bearing the legend ‘Chief Chick’?
Did you know that the cashpoint was invented while someone was
having a bath?
