Book reviews
I had to stop reading at one point ... as I was laughing too much to see the words!

That is the charm of This Time Next Year by Liz Hinds. You want to go shopping with Aliss and her friends, help her sort out her relationships, and throttle her son--oops!
K. Sharman
It is a great read. Made me laugh and cry.

Either we are in the universe to inhabit the lovely eternity of our souls and grow real, or else we might as well dedicate our days to shopping and kill time watching talk shows. John O'Donohue, Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong

Who is Alvar Lidell??
Presumably this bloke wot'd totalled 'is motor?
Alvar Lidell is of course a small island off the Shetlands. Population nine people and 23 sheep.
Nonsense Nick,
'Bloke' is again a municipality in Slovenia, re-established as an independent municipality in 1998.
@Anne,
Alvar Lidell was a BBC announcer who focussed on pronunciation and phrasing. He announce Edward's abdication and the declaration of war with German amongst other things.
He was also at Bletchlwy Park (cracking the Enigma codes) in 1943, as was Ian Fleming (author of the James Bond books).
