Part sociology, part social history, part autobiography, this is the second volume in the 'Croydon Boy' trilogy in which Peter Saunders takes a very personal look back at raising a family, building a career, and searching for the meaning of life during the tumultuous years of the 1970s and 1980s. The book opens in 1971. The sixties are over. The Beatles have disbanded. Ali has lost his heavyweight crown. Crystal Palace have been relegated to Division III. And the government has just scrapped all-year British Summertime. Married at 20, a father at 21, the author is now living with his in-laws and it's not working out too well. The world isn't in a good state either. British troops shoot 13 civil rights demonstrators in Londonderry. Eleven Israeli athletes are slaughtered by Palestinian terrorists at the Munich Olympics. Unemployment and inflation are spiralling. And with the miners out on strike, we're lighting our homes with candles. But then, out of the East (Lincolnshire, to be exact) comes a new leader. An iron lady with hair sculpted like a knight's helmet who promises to restore peace and harmony to the land. That's when the shit really hits the fan.
