I saw an ad for a book last week and now can't find the ad! It's title
was something like 'The Trainspotters Guide to...' although that may
have been prefixed with something and I think it was a comedy book based
on Trainspotter type musings.

Can't remember the rest of the title - any ideas anyone?

Thank you Mike - that's the one. By the same author as 'Toys Were Us'.

Marvellous!
