Jeremy Macdonogh went on a rumbustious romp through Europe in the early 70s to delay becoming something in the City. Armed only with a degree, a dinner jacket and precocious self-confidence, he charms and finesses his way through a hundred hilarious situations, from which spring many interesting digressions and asides which are the real heart of this highly entertaining book. The blend of snippets of history, myth, gossip, philosophy and observation savours of the memoirs of Casanova.
