Laughing So Hard, I Had to make Loo Stops!

Peter Kay's new book had me in stitches from the get-go. I couldn't resist listening to it during my car journeys, and the hilarity was so relentless that I had to make several unscheduled pit stops around the North West, and let me tell you, I didn't hold up any Little Chefs. If you're looking for a book that's not just a laugh but also a reason to discover new roadside facilities, this is it. Peter Kay, you're a comedic genius, and I thank you for the laughter and those unexpected restroom adventures!
