The author is good at setting the scene for various working life anecdotes and stories throughout, though the majority seem milder than those in Grub, Water & Relief - the result of an extra 50 years embellishment as the tales were passed down through the ranks? Definitely worth a read, the Shrivenham accident stood out in particular.
