설명
Did you know that Hitler used to love paddling in the sea at Weymouth, and met his future wife Eva Braun whilst he was on holiday and she was working in a local bar? Or that during the late 1990’s the town was plagued by a monstrous seagull that carried away a number of pet dogs and even a small child?
Did you know that Corfe Castle is not actually a medieval castle but actually a ‘new’ building knocked up in 1963 in an effort to attract tourists to the area? Or that the Isle of Wight hosts the world’s only ‘Turd Museum’? Or that the original Isle of Wight Needles were destroyed in a storm in 1832 and what tourists look at today is actually made of fibreglass?
Find out all of this and more in ‘Coastal Carnage’, a one-of-a-kind travel book that takes readers on an invigorating campervan tour of the south coast of England from the comfort of their own armchairs!
Join the author and his long suffering partner on a journey filled with mishap that begins to whittle away their body parts and sees them becoming addicted to pain relief medication bought from local drug dealers! See their angelic little dog turn into a bloodthirsty monster with an insatiable appetite for human flesh!
“I loved it!”
Michael Parlin
“What a wonderful travel book!”
Judith Chulmers
“Full of insights and wisdom that makes reading a pleasure!”
Pawl Throux
Not everything in this book is actually factually correct.
