I think had I been British and therefore more familiar with a lot of the people and events discussed, I would have enjoyed it more.

I did get a chuckle out of his commentary on a large family living on public funding in a very large house, where the matriarch is into dogs, the father is a racist old codger who speaks out of turn, a local shopkeeper is convinced the family had his son and the son's girlfriend killed, the kids all had disastrous marriages, and the grandkids were supposed to be in the military but were more likely to be seen in night clubs.

I don't like the w I picked this up because the page it opened at had a funny story from a listener, and I thought the books would be like that, but it's full of Terry W. I don't like the way he takes cheap pot shots at health and safety - would he rather we worked in conditions like a ship breakers in Bangladesh I saw on TV who don't bother about all that health and safety nonsense? They have about 4 fatalities a month. However, I must give him credit for his charity work.
