This book is from the inventor of TV's 'Vision On'.This is a stunning debut book from the multi-talented Wilf' Lunn, best remembered as the off-the-wall inventor in TV shows like 'Vision-on' and 'Jigsaw'. As a writer Wilf' has that laugh-out-loud observational humour that is reminiscent of Billy Connolly, Peter Kay and Victoria Wood.Wilf' writes with deadpan comic wit and insight about an unusual family and upbringing, managing to pack a huge cast of painfully funny characters into one book.Wilf' Lunn first came to public notice in 1942 when he won first prize in a 'War Baby' competition, which he believes was because he was shaped like a bomb. Raised by deaf parents in a cellar in Rastrick, Yorkshire, as a baby Wilf' quickly learned that f**ting was better than crying for attracting their attention.Reared on 'potted nanny', 'marrowfat pea muffs' and 'corporation pop', and in fear of the Brook Street Gang - who pushed drinking straws up frog's bums to inflate them like balloons - Wilf' survived (whilst marvelling at the adhesive power of dried snot) to fulfil his childhood ambition of having a beard.Many years later, the film star James Mason, advised Wilf' to write about his bizarre life. This is part of it...up to the age of eleven!
