Description

Hilarious stories and photos from local papers, from the creator of 'Britain's funniest blog' The great British public are masters of the art of grumbling and no complaint is too trivial for the pages of our local newspapers. They are full of people pointing wanly at a bin, a mouldy pie, or even the empty space where their stolen bicycle isn't. This book will open up the APILN archives to find the all-time best stories from this much-loved blog, exploring popular subjects for fury, hilarious photos, weird news, angry poetry, furious letters and more.

Author Bio

Alistair Coleman joined the BBC as a computer operator in 1989, forgot to leave, and accidentally became a journalist several years later. He's often mistaken for an expert in North Korean and Asian affairs, and is probably on lists in several foreign capitals for what he said about their Presidents. His award-winning blog, Angry People in Local Newspapers, now has over 200,000 followers and was the first blog to be named Best British Blog by the Guardian. He has two grown-up children, and lives in Hampshire with his partner Jane. They, in turn, are servants to a pair of seemingly immortal Jack Russells.
