"All my childhood was spent with people who were disappointed." A 'rambling and truthful account' of Bainbridge's retrace of J. B. Priestley's classic 1930's journey around England. Commissioned by the BBC, to mark its 50th anniversary, the author concludes that the English remain a surprisingly tolerant – though an eccentric race – in spite of the brutal intervening changes.
