Stuart Maconie Lying Git

Started by: bennielechat (5762)

I've just started reading "Cider with Roadies" by Stuart Maconie . I'm only about an eighth of the way through and this guy must be in his sixties to have experienced what he's said;but he's only about 47.

Errors abound everywhere.

Anyhow my question is does anyone remember him?

He was born in 1960.

I'm currently reading Pies and Prejudice and quite enjoying it.

What lies is he telling in Cider with Roadies?

Hey Ian are you the Roadie in the title?

He's just written a book praising Middle Class values ,serialised in the Daily Mail.

He is a darned good Ambassador for his Pension Fund.
