Over the years I have been sent many emails, many of them headed: 'This is the best ever' 'You must read this' 'Please don't ignore this' So this book is a tribute to the people who devised them, the people who forwarded them and some of the poor people who are the unwitting subjects of the laughter and pity within them. It's a collection of the funniest, rudest, crudest, most surprising, most shocking and downright bizarre emails I have ever received. From naked snow shovellers to illiterate sign writers, from frisky Royals to (other) strange animals, it's all in these pages. Now you can be the judge of whether they really are 'the best ever'. One thing is certain - no one single email can be the 'best ever' but many of them are top contenders. If any of the content offends you in any way I apologise. My only intent in compiling these emails was to amuse. As Dawn French once said: #If it's in bad taste it's not funny, if it's funny it's not in bad taste'. To all my friends who have unknowingly contributed to this book, especially to Roger (get a life mate). Thanks for you emails!
