I got nearly half-way through 'Odd cheat, now binned by vicar',
just because I felt I needed to know what *absolutely everyone* on
my daily commute thought was so great about the book. The last
straw - really quite a small error compared to some of the clunkers
in this awful book - came when the Smart car's fuel mileage was
mentioned in passing. Because the French - like many Euro countries
- reckon their fuel efficiency the other way round to the
anglophone nations, Brown followed suit and gave a figure in litres
per kilometre, rather than miles per gallon. I don't remember the
exact figure, but as I recall it worked out to about 250 mpg.
They're good, but not *that* good.
