i read this with the aid of a few glasses of wine (well i was on holiday at a vineyard which lay on free bottles of the stuff). i would be interested to know if it's possible to read this entirely sober, without wincing.

I loved this book. Have read it twice and laughed aloud, sadly, because I have worked with these very people!
