Stairlift to Heaven
Stairlift to Heaven (The journal of an OAP.) Although this book is written by an old age pensioner, non-coffin dodgers should not be put off. Everyone will be old someday, and there are valuable lessons in coping with old age to be learned here. Written by Terry Ravenscroft, former scriptwriter to Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise. Stairlift to Heaven has been likened by one reviewer to be 'Like Last of the Summer Wine on cocaine' Review by Pauline R for Readers Favorite. Stairlift to Heaven is an irreverent, hilarious look about one man's life after retirement. He pokes fun at everything, no one and nothing is spared including how to silence the neighbour's barking dog, telephone salespeople and Christmas carolers. His long suffering wife, known as 'The Trouble', provides a perfect foil of sanity against the mad antics of the author and his friend Atkins. Like a grumpy old man on funny pills Terry punctures the ridiculousness of life. A particular favorite is a visit to a faith healer and an examination of the concept of a Nuclear Free Zone. There is enough in "Stairlift to Heaven" to keep the whole world laughing.
Dear Customer Services
Terry Ravenscroft is back, putting pen to paper once more, and this time he's taking on the major food and drink corporations. No one is safe as Terry targets companies from Kellogg's and Ryvita to Mars, Heinz and Cadbury with his irritating epistles. Terry tackles everything from quality and pricing to taste and advertising campaigns, quizzing companies like Ferrero about why it's impossible to 'feel the nuts' in Nutella spread 'despite going through it with a fine tooth comb'. Combining the author's trademark humour with a sly nod at the megalomania of global corporations, Dear Customer Services is a letters book with a difference, giving everyone who's ever had a reason to dislike the big companies a big laugh at their expense!
Captain's Day
At Sunnymere Golf Club meticulous plans put in place by club captain Henry Fridlington and his good lady wife Millicent ought to have guaranteed that his Captain's Day would be the best day of his life. However Henry has recently enforced a strict 'no swearing on the golf course' policy, a policy which has not gone down at all well with the membership - and a policy which is largely instrumental, along with more than a little help from Henry himself, in ensuring that far from being the best day in his life his Captain's Day turns into the very worst day of his life. Read extracts from Captain's Day on the topcomedy website.

Dear Coca-Cola
Putting pen to paper with hilarious results, in Dear Coca-Cola Terry Ravenscroft homes in on the Food & Drink industry. Household names such as Heinz, McDonalds, Tesco, Kentucky Fried Chicken and those wonderful people at Coca-Cola are the targets for his entertaining epistles, resulting in a laugh-out-loud letters book with a difference. Is he really a fan of Butcher's Dog Food? (For him. not his dog.) And you really don't want to know what he asks Jacob's Biscuits for! But you will when you've read his letters to them. You will never look at the contents of your refrigerator or kitchen cupboards in the same way again.Amazon Reader's review -"Do not read this book whilst holding a cold drink, a hot partner or anything squeezable. The genius of this man's writing is a beautiful thing to read, dry, sharply observed and above all cheap as chips on kindle downloads. As funny as 'Dear Air 2000' but without the lasagne although you will never be able to look at Bisto gravy granules in quite the same way ever again. Whatever you do download this and help keep Terry Ravenscroft in Oxfam trousers and 2 bottles of white wine." Lee Sylvester.
I Thought He was a Speed Bump-- and Other Excuses from Life in the Fast Lane
"Most people in this country hurry too much. I know, because I have been one of them. For much of my adult life, I've broken dozens of glasses and plates each year whipping them in and out of the dishwasher, thinking all the while,'Get it done, get it done.' So begins this collection of reader-favorite columns, with its varied chapter headings ("Latin For the Not Yet Dead," "Fruit of The Loom Jesus" and "When Will Dad Become a Woman?") all centered around what kids have to teach us: about not driving so fast that we hardly know what - or, in the story which gives the book its title - who are driving over. "A delightful valentine to dispel the humdrum quality of everyday experience, Marotta's observations are rife with gentle wit and an enviable wisdom." The Boston Globe "At last: a book for frazzled people everywhere.... Full of faith hope and heart." The Cape Cod Times "Marotta's words pop out at you like those 3-D castles in a child's book." The Palm Beach Post I laughed and cried. It brought me a sense of connectedness and joy; It made my soul sing! - A reader in Vermont.
Dear Air 2000
Humorous correspondence to and from over forty airline companies. Meet the 38 stones man who has never flown before and stands fat chance of ever doing so. The man who thinks his distinct Turkish looks won't go down very with the locals in the Greek half of Cyprus. The passenger who wants to enjoy the flight with his inflatable rubber woman sat on his knee. The man who suspects his false teeth may have been stolen by one of the cabin crew. Meet these delightful people plus many, many more, and enjoy the funniest read you'll have had for ages. If you enjoyed the Henry Root Letters you'll love Dear Air 2000..
The Trials and Triumphs of Les Dawson [Standard Large Print 16 Pt Edition]
Les Dawson was a Northern lad who climbed out of the slums thanks to an uncommonly brilliant mind. Married twice in real life, he had a third wife in his comic world - a fictional ogre built from spare parts left by fleeing Nazis at the end of World War II - and an equally frightening mother - in - law. He was down to earth, yet given to eloquent, absurd flights of fancy. He was endlessly generous with his time, but slow to buy a round of drinks. He was a mass of contradictions. In short, he was human, he was genuine, and that's why audiences loved him.
