With a keen eye for detail, he surveys contemporary Britain and takes note of her culture, landscape and idiosyncrasies. With a dash of humour throughout, he recounts a multitude of characters, snippets of conversation and pointed insight.

Two chapters recount his experience of returning to Southern Africa, firstly to the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and later in the book, to Harare, Zimbabwe, where he grew up. I came across your blog a few months back...
