The Perfect Family by Victoria Mather
You'll know them all: the armchair spectators supporting the plucky little Brit at Wimbledon; the Atkins dieter, with her mantra of 'Can I eat this?'; the white van man who cannot see the KEEP CLEAR sign because he has parked on top of it; the toddler whose favourite playthings are wall sockets and cats' tails. And of course the perfect family, whose children are all stars and so positive, even in a cyclone on holiday in Mauritius. Skewering affectation and exposing human folly, Victoria Mather and Sue Macartney-Snape are back with a hilarious set of Social Stereotypes in which we'll recognize everyone around us, including ourselves.
'Their observations are made with the wit and humour necessary to survive the circles they move in' -- Michael Parkinson 'With consummate skill, the authors have once again skewered our national smugness. The unwary would be well advised not to leave the room before Victoria or Sue.' -- Nicky Haslam 'Their well of inspiration shows no sign of drying up.' -- Daily Mail
Victoria Mather and Sue Macartney-Snape are the universally acclaimed duo who, over the past ten years, have created more than 500 social stereotypes. Their weekly column in the Telegraph Magazine is simply a must.
