'Don't lean out of the Window' and 'Don't mention the war'chronicle the travelling experiences of three barely post-pubescentyoung men as the tour Europe aboard train, truck, tram and ship. Being lost in war-torn Serbia seems a hilarious way to spend your summer holidays thanks to Bassett and Ferris. All manner of shenanigins in Holland; including a few young ladies to please you menfolk. Brits have to love the shameless Franco-bashing, or should I say, hilarious observations of our European neighbours. Excellent.

This book is seriously funnier than Bill Bryson, the antics that these guys get up to round Europe ! Any young person considering coming to Europe should read this, and as it was so good, I had to read their next book "Don't Mention the War!" - for the complete European travel experience you can't go wrong with these.

This book is funny as the War books by Spike Milligan. It gives a witty account of the ups and downs of inter-rail travelling along with the added bonus of meeting all those gorgeous 'Dutchies' along the way. Starting at home and travelling down to the South of France on to Venice, almost being shot by a 'fascist' policemen, up to Austria, Germany and Switzerland then to Scandinavia and then back to Venice, only to get arrested. Finally up to the Netherlands to meet up with holiday lovers.

A delightful read from start to finish and has convinced me to go busking round Europe next summer. Anyone who can tell me how to achieve such a trip, I would love to hear from you!!!!
