General comments about:

“Mustn’t Grumble” by Robin Colvill, from  proof reader and critic, Mike Fairclough


“Mustn’t Grumble”  blends memoir with comedy. The book Is Satirical, irreverent, brimming with sharp wit and farcical situations. While its often absurd humour pokes fun at society's quirks, it also echoes the values of a more logical age. One in which men were men and women were women.A period in history when you could say and do things which would almost certainly get you into trouble these days.

The humorous tone, exaggerated characters and satirical edge are incredibly entertaining. It is refreshing to read a book that is so politically incorrect that it almost jolts the reader. If the author was currently working for the BBC, or any other British Mainstream Media, I predict that the “ Cancel Culture” would have a field Day. However, I believe that this is one of the main strengths of the book.
The book will act as a provocation and a talking point, in a world that has shrunk under the weight of wokeism. It is bound to trigger almost everyone who reads it.

The stories are vivid and incredibly enjoyable to read. In a way, this book is a manual for others hoping to make it in show-business. It is also applicable to other aspects of life. There are great words of advice, which can only come out of extensive experience and learning the hard way. Brilliant to demonstrate resourcefulness and ingenuity, these traits need to be revived within a world which expects everything on a plate without any work.

Chapter 28. Overcoming our fears is the lesson in this chapter and needs to be taught to the masses. Its all in this chapter. Absolutely brilliant having laughed throughout the entire book and formed a connection with Graham, it was humbling to be invited to read the very personal story of his death, what a magnificent man to have been cracking jokes right up to the end.
Readers of all ages will love this book.
