Starting with A Cuban Affair and Other Short Stories, the author skilfully relates his hilarious adventure on a 'R and R' location for Castro's rebel forces. The book's 23 stories are grouped in a way to keep the readers enthralled as they go on a journey of hilarious and bizarre experiences to exotic locations or share, under Viking Tales, the pioneering experiences of the UK and Norway rushing to develop North Sea oil. But it doesn't end there as the author unfolds further chaotic tales of woe happening on 'his watch'. These include; A misidentification situation with security forces at a major airport A key witness in a bank robbery The first game of golf Observations of a supermarket bag-packer And many others. Also included are two amusing letters written through the eyes of a young boy to Santa and the Prime Minister. A word of warning to the reader. This book is best read on one's own as outbursts of laughter might raise cause for concern from the casual onlooker.
