How DO you avoid the 'nightmare scenario' of having two open tubs of margarine in your fridge? Throw one tub away, or give it to a friend or neighbour? If the remedy were that simple no one would have bothered to write a book about it, would they? John Shuttleworth would... and he has! "Sheffield's funniest man" ( The Times ) has made simple remedies to everyday domestic dilemmas, well...complicated! And ridiculous. And totally hilarious!
Everything I wanted from a John Shuttleworth book. It even prompted me to get out my vacuum cleaner for some long-overdue hoovering. Sadly, the extendable lead was extended too far and will no longer retract, so I have only ended up causing a domestic dilemma of my own. Oof!
Pretty much as expected. As a long term fan of John Shuttleworth there's plenty to enjoy here, he remains a lovely comic creation and there's still plenty of great lines. The concept of book is an enjoyable one although does get a little repetitive with the length of the book probably unnecessarily long. Still very enjoyable to dip and out of and hear John's sage advice.
This book is a great addition to anyone’s bookcase. A true gem that should be in every young man’s or woman’s reading list. Favourite piece of advice is to always have three points of contact when entering or leaving the shower. Never, ever jump into the shower like some people suggest.
