Have you.....: ? Ever wanted to say "stuff the day job" and say goodbye to a life in England. Have you ever thought how much nicer it would be to work on the continent? Did you know the average Brit emigrates with only three thousand quid? Think again This is no tale of wine under the wisteria.The Three Grand Brits is a true story of what it's like to work for rich people who own chateaux in France. This is a genuine antidote to "A year in Provence" and offers a warts and all picture of what it's like to leave England, plus friends and family behind. James J. Browne and his partner, Samantha, have worked for billionaires, corporate lawyers, celebrities and investment bankers and certainly know their stuff when it comes to dealing with the wealthy abroad. Please don't read this book if you are one of the so called "elite" - it will certainly give offence with its intent to expose the English aristocracy (or upper class twits as the author prefers to call them) for the sociopathic buffoons they truly are. Not that the wealthy with "new money" fare any better in this volume The author hopes that his recollections will serve as an amusing cautionary tale for anyone wishing to "live the dream" and become Chateau Guardians. James J. Browne has managed to survive for 51 years whilst having had many diverse and not necessarily interesting occupations. He has been, prior to leaving Blighty, a professional musician, a tour guide, road sweeper, recycling operative, telephone fortune teller, insulation installation operative, light bulb packer, antique dealer, waiter, sea shell salesman and barman to name a few. It was his brief career as a taxi driver that decided it was time to leave England behind, and this is where the adventure begins. He now lives and travels with his long suffering partner Samantha and two golden retrievers in a Fiat Ducato. The Three Grand Brits is the tale of their adventures on the other side of the Channel and what happened when they became Chateau Guardians. Full of humour, both light and dark, this gritty factual tale describes how the jolly foursome fared on their travels. Packed with unusual observations this book is a must for anyone wishing to emigrate and "Live the Dream." Published in its second edition with colour photos this is probably the most unusual travel book to be published in 2014.
