About the Book

Within the pages of this book, you will find a collection of delightful conversations, where the ordinary is transformed into extraordinary tales filled with humour and wit. "It's only the Dirty Ones We Don't Want" is a testament to the power of imagination and the joy that can be found in even the most mundane moments.

The title story takes us on a camping trip to the Hill Inn in Yorkshire, where a muddy misadventure leads to an unexpected encounter with a colourful landlord. This tale sets the tone for the many stories within this book, capturing the essence of life in the 1970s and the author's experiences growing up.

From high school tribulations to motorcycle rallies, pub escapades, and more, this book traverses an eclectic mix of topics with a touch of humour. The author's playful approach breathes new life into ordinary narratives, infusing each page with whimsy and laughter. No subject is off-limits when it comes to tickling the reader's funny bone.

Through these light-hearted exchanges, you'll be transported into a world where storytelling and amusement collide. The author's wit and imaginative storytelling will make you appreciate the absurdity of everyday life and find laughter in unexpected places.

So, embark on this delightful journey and let the playful banter and laughter-filled anecdotes brighten your day. Discover the joy that lies within the realms of imagination and humour, and relish in the tales that capture the essence of a kid growing up in the 1970s.

All of my books are generously illustrated, with at least one image accompanying each short story. They are available for Kindle in full colour, and for Paperback and Hardback editions in black and white. For an immersive reading experience for all my books, I wholeheartedly endorse seeking out the Paperback in colour, as it showcases hundreds of carefully selected images and photographs that enrich the storytelling.

In addition to these memoirs, I have penned three books that delve into my professional career. "Alarming Stories" recounts my experiences as an apprentice intruder alarm engineer at Chubb Alarms from 1976 to 1980. Written in my signature style, each incident is presented as a concise, humorous short story, making the book a delightful and easy read. It unravels a world of rudeness, danger, humour, and injustice that characterised that era, all narrated with a touch of black humour.

"Alarming Stories II: Tales of a Security Engineer" picks up the narrative from 1980 to 1988, as I worked for various security companies. This volume documents the comical, nerve-wracking, and occasionally perilous incidents I encountered during this period. It serves as a reflection on the early days of intruder alarm systems in the UK and is best enjoyed alongside the original "Alarming Stories."

Completing the trilogy, "Alarming Stories III: Tales of a Security Company Director" sheds light on my experiences as I navigated the realm of entrepreneurship, running my own security company from 1988 to 2001. In these pages, you'll find accounts of humour, embarrassment, frustration, annoyance, and unbelievable situations faced by both myself and my dedicated staff. This book is a recommended companion to the Alarming Stories trilogy.
