“Spice is the variety of
life.”—This is one of the
book’s many “Chrissarisms”
and just about sums it up.
The book brings together, in
the words of The Literary
Consultancy, “a wealth of
material.”
Described as “a sort of
autobiography”, it is not
just about a boy who, from
humble beginnings, created
one of the country’s leading
car insurance businesses. It
is much, much more than
that. In a series of mini
biographies you will meet
characters like Tramlines
Taylor and some of the
author’s irresponsible
drinking companions like
Alan the Gallon and Patsy,
an eclectic version of
several of them.
The author’s confrontations
with authority in “Gypsies”
and “DA versus the FA &
Others” are described in
detail and his views on
religion, democracy,
political correctness, crime
(especially paedophilia) and
punishment are bound to
raise a few eyebrows.
The ups and downs of Lloyds
of London, the ‘We Arnott
Insured’ slogan and the
people involved, including
the Chairman of Gretna FC
during their fairy tale
journey into Europe, are
featured in Volume II:
Accidental Millionaire.
“A huge and all-embracing
account of a richly-varied
life”; “Fantastic
characters, of the kind we
just don’t see today”; “The
Chrissarisms—yes, very
funny, and very charming!”
—The Literary Consultancy.
