This book is a celebration of all things shite about the misuse of English, highlighting the prevalence of absent apostrophes, ghastly grammar, suspect sentences and rambling repetitiveness, commentators' claptrap, tortuous tautologies, insane instructions and quicky quotations in society today. This essential collection touches upon ambiguous adverts - 'Why not have the kids shot for Easter, or have a family portrait taken?'; dangling modifiers - 'She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December'; senseless statements - 'With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go'; and cloying cliches - 'If you fnd yourself in hot water, put your best foot forward'; and also includes lists of malapropisms, euphemisms, misspellings, rhyming slang and puns.

Featuring a plethora of examples that show how to get the worst out of the world's most commonly soken language, Eats, Shites & Leaves is a wittily informative insight into how the English language can be used and abused in the twenty-first century.

Read once then sat on book shelf, still in good condition

Please read before bidding

  • I will only accept payment by Paypal or Crossed Postal Order, sorry no cheques
  • I do like payment to be made within 5 days of bidding ending
  • I will combine postage and packing on items won on the same day
  • I will combine postage and packing on items that are finishing on different days (up to 3 days), as long as you email first letting me know to hold on with sending invoice as you are still bidding on other items, otherwise I will automatically send invoice for just the items won on that day
  • I will leave feedback once I have received it from you, that way I know you have received the goods and are happy with them
  • I always get proof of posting
  • Please remember that  with 2nd class postage, the Royal Mail state 3+ days for delivery, so if you want it quicker, contact me for a faster alternative, if one is available
  • If you have any problems or queries before or after winning/receiving goods, I will always try to reply to emails within 24 hours or less
  • I will accept returns if it is deemed as a valid reason, however I will not pay for return postage and packing and will only refund price of the item, not the postage and packing already paid, unless the item is clearly not as described, but as you can see from my feedback I always give a good description
  • I usually post items the next working day after payment, but always within 2 working days of payment
  • If you need more measurements than listed (where applicable), please email me
  • I always fill in the tracking information, so before emailing to find out when something was posted, have a look in this section

Thankyou for taking the time to read this important information

Happy Bidding
