Imagine My Surprise...Unpublished Letters To The Daily Telegraph

From the front-inside of the dustwrapper:

“Sadly, letter-writing is not an Olympic sport. Had it been, the podium at London 2012 would have been monopolised by Daily Telegraph readers. Once again, in a year of tumultuous events, from the Diamond Jubilee to the Leveson Inquiry, from Greek bail-outs to Andy Murray’s tears — never mind droughts during which it rained incessantly — those witty, whimsical and not infrequently downright furious readers have made sure to wing off a letter to the paper.

The result, for the fourth year running, is a hilarious gathering of all the best letters that didn’t make it into the paper, and a wonderful alternative and often wise review of the year. Read on, then, to see what Telegraph readers made of the Costa Concordia’s sinking, the Prime Minister’s chillaxing, K****** and apps, sportsmen and women who can’t merely lose but who have to ‘crash out’ — and why pills come in packs of six when there are seven days in the week. For all those who worry about the ‘lasting legacy’ of Olympic year — here is the answer.”
