Another 'Lucky' Find

Dear All,

I 'Posted', some time back, about 'finding' a USB Charger- being sold at a very Reasonable price. I've gone 'one better', this time.... I have 'Found' a, quite Humorous, book. I was at the local Civic Amenity/ Recycling Centre (The Tip), and was putting some newspapers into the correct slot... when I spotted an 'Almost New' book. Apart from a bit of 'Sticky' on the back cover- that soon cleaned off- it's Almost Perfect...Certainly as good as any other Paperback that I have.

It's entitled "This Is Going To Hurt, Secret Diaries Of A Junior Doctor" and by Adam Kay. 'The Award- winning Sunday Times No1 Best Seller', first published in 2017. With endorsements by Steven Fry and Johnathan Ross, I think my 'Find' might be quite good... I'll let you all know.

You were very lucky Andrew as the 'tip' police are quick to stop anyone taking a thing,and yet a few years ago you were welcome to help yourself.

I've read that one AndrewT and it's quite an eye-opener but funny too.

Loved the book. My parents were junior doctors in the early days of the NHS and my mum said the ward maids were paid more than her. Didn’t stop them having a good time!😊sorry they’re not around to read it☹️

What an excellent find Andrew, it begs the question though why people throw perfectly good things away.
