| Abstract: | Subtitled "A Portrait of Britain at Work", this is a cross-section of jobs that British people are doing on any given day. Joanna Biggs has interviewed them: a prostitute, a rabbi, a fishmonger, a shoemaker, a nurse, a scientist, a crofter, a CEO, and an intern, to name a few. It's a thought-provoking glimpse of a day in the life of a modern society, and Biggs's sympathetic approach encourages people to open up. It's full of entertaining observations. I enjoyed learning from Thomas Eaton, a quiz question writer, that on The Weakest Link they had to avoid questions involving the words "apocalypse", "Antarctica" and "Rusedski", because Anne Robinson couldn't pronounce them. A first-rate piece of social reportage. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
