Short description

A collection of seven hilarious short stories (famous British humour) starting off with a plumber who becomes a computer repair man and gets on fine until he meets Meena, a very attractive Indian woman. You can also read about a man who eats his first oyster - and the consequences, a young boy puzzled by the story of Rapunzel and two Americans showing their slides from a holiday in Egypt.

Extended description

I used to be a plumber which was excellent training for my new profession.

Must’ve been a REAL cowboy’. You then inform the unfortunate householder that the work will take forever, IF you can get the parts - and it will set them back at least four hundred quid, more if Christmas is around the corner.

This is the beginning of A Cowboy and an Indian, the first story in a collection of seven hilarious short stories, all set in the very real world. These stories, written in British comedic style include:
