Under-the-ground But funny at times, too, in a very bleak way, though the humour has completely gone by the end. It’s also proof that certain apparently modern features of British society have been around for a long time. Netta is a proper reality TV type and Peter is recognisably a Farager

AT LAST ITS HERE....
The long awaited 2nd part of Johna Johnson Blood, Sweat, Leather and Tears Story!
https://www.olddogbooks.net/.../blood-sweat-leather.../
Order ASAP for delivery this weekend in the UK!!!
Get ready for part two of this incredible journey following the best band in the world. Adam and the Ants have survived the mean streets of London and are more stylish and subversive than before. They have also gained enough experience, built up a loyal following, and are now ready to take Ant Music on tours nationwide. The Ants Crew and the band find themselves on an even more exciting and dangerous journey. There are more well-attended gigs but with that brings more trouble from an array of different tribes who are out to stop the Ants Invasion at any cost. Share their adventures and misfortunes and see how this tight-knit camaraderie would often save the day. This is the continuing story of how these kids managed to follow their favourite band around the country while often finding themselves in dangerous situations where rampaging Skinheads would turn up to attack them at gigs or perverts lurked in the shadows looking for youths in all-night cafés, train stations or hitchhiking to and from gigs. Sometimes you could wake up in a house with no people in it and wonder how you got there? These kids loved Adam and the Ants and no one was going to stop them from following the band people loved to hate. Finally… meet The Ants. What were they really like?

Kevin_Stapleton I'm getting into it now. Zips along in parts then is a bit turgid. Also I like how she flips our allegiances with the characters. One minute you like them, then you think they're cunts. Jury mariginaly in favour 6/5.

Under-the-ground TBS was one of the books Mr Hall threw at me at Leeds Grammar. I told him it wasn't as good as MASH which I'd just read. He told me I was wrong.

He was probably right.

I believe Tom Brown gets his own back in one of the Flashman books. Not read that one yet though.

Under-the-ground

I will look out for that!
