This is better explained in the Personalised Haynes Explains “The French” Manual, here to help anyone understand French culture, cuisine and why the French believe they are always right. Clearly written by a Brit, this tongue-in-cheek guide is drunk with humour, (probably not Bourgeon, but perhaps a stout ale) and will make the old produce a glistening tear whilst the young will wonder, what on earth did the French ever do for Brits to write this?
It’s perfectly suitable for any individual who enjoys a bit of superior toilet humour. The book itself even features their name on the cover, along the top of each page and also features a message from yours truly on the opening page. Do with this what you will, or why not tell them there are manuals on Americans and Germans? After all, Haynes has taken the automotive world by storm.

I brought the burnley newspaper…
I brought the burnley newspaper clipping book and to be honest, it’s not worth £50 at all! All the clippings are tiny too small to read so I would not recommend this book to anyone.
