Reminded of this thread after, last week, accidentally typing Railtrack into an Amazon search box rather than Google.

The incorrect search brought up details of the ebook, which I've now purchased for the bargain price of ^2.99 and I am about half way through a second reading. Sitting on a train and occasionally guffawing does tend to unnerve those around you. However, this book is a perfect antidote for some of the rail trips I've had to make out of necessity recently. Much as I like train travel, Bristol to Bridgwater in Class 150s gets dull very quickly when you are doing it 3-4 times a week. So this ebook has definitely helped keep my spirits up.

There is some genuine concern though that members of the legal profession (a profession that you'd think requires the basic ability to carry out accurate research) can be so incompetent.

That said, it's hilarious. Highly recommended.  Cheesy

I would also recommend purchase of the ebook, I have it on my Kindle and it is brilliant
