Description
Follow the authors on their latest morally reprehensible trip around Europe. Experience the fatigue, the smells and the total lack of appreciation of the cultural pearl that is continental Europe. Discover how they played their part in making a Gendarme crash his police car; marvel at the undeserved adulation heaped upon them by the inhabitants of a small town in Provence; wince in embarrassment as they demonstrate how not to represent their nation when abroad. Don't mention the war! follows the exploits of three young men as they gallivant across Europe gorging themselves on junk food, funded by their questionable ability as buskers. Provided you're not an anxious parent or a member of the clergy, or French, German, Italian, Swiss, Belgian, Dutch, Eastern European or American, this book is guaranteed to make you laugh at least once.
