Travels as a Brussels Scout

By Nick Middleton

Book Overview

In a modern rendition of the Grand tour of Europe, Nick Middleton set out to seek the truth behind the myths we British like to propogate about our European neighbours..... The Belgians are boring, the French eat nothing but Frogs legs and garlic and the Germans are officious and efficient. He followeda trail of contemporary sights and experiences that every well rounded Eurocitizen should encounter think of the British and to see how different or alike we all are now that we are linked by a common market.

EU? P.U.!

Yikes! What were the Boys in Brussels thinking?!Bravo, Mr. Middleton!

Nick on form as is usual

NIck Middleton as usual delivers the goods. He carries on where he left off delivering a humorous account of the current EEC. His political and economic insight to the region is witty and informative, but as usual he writes with a subtle sarcasm, never shying away from providing the reader with an informative view of the European continent. I would also thoroughly recommend trying to get hold of his earlier work "Last Disco in Outer Mongolia".
