I am not sure that the author's father, Russell Ash, would be very please with his son's efforts with this little book. Some of the lists are interesting but some of them are just page fillers - is anyone interested in 'Postcodes most at risk from identity fraud' or 'Drink Driving Boroughs' or 'Holiday Destinations for Londoners'?

In the list 'Longest Rivers in London' is included the Grand Union Canal and that with no explanation as to its inclusion. It would have been good were the author to have told the reader where some of these rivers may be found - where is the River Pinn or the River Longford?

In the list ' Destinations for Landfill Waste' all are counties bar one and Essex is at number 3. Yet at number 5 is Thurrock, which is in Essex. This is plain nonsense.

In the list 'First Underground Stations to Close' is listed South Kentish Road - no such station, it was South Kentish Town.

I could go on. I am giving my copy to a Charity Shop and it's worth the £1 they might charge but I can't say that this book was worth the cover price.… (meer)
