At home or in the office, the loo is one of those few places where we have space to sit and think. And now you can have your own private lavatory lecturer help you make the most of it.
Featuring mind-expanding trivia, extraordinary facts and enlightening stories from history, science, the world of words and much, much more, Learn on the Loo provides the perfect pre-flush entertainment with bite-sized chunks of wisdom that are sure to impress your friends, family and colleagues. So, however long you're usually 'engaged' for, turn those toilet breaks into toilet tutorials and become bog brainy.
Quirky and interesting facts with a dozen Question quiz at the end of each chapter. Knew a few cool facts from Dr Karl. This book is UK centric so not really my 'cuppa tea' as they say. Couldn't care less about British history and monarchies.
Eine kurzweilige Lektüre mit einer Menge unnützen Fakten, die jedoch nicht immer wirklich stimmen. Außerdem sind mir einige Tipp- und Grammatikfehler aufgefallen. Und wie so oft ein deutsches Deutsch, das mir als Österreicherin gegen den Strich geht. Bestes Beispiel:

It's pretty ok. Nothing much sticks in my head though. Apart from ...SPOILER ALERT... Churchill had an actor read his speeches during the war quite a bit and Van Gogh didn't cut his own ear off.
