Product Description
A first-time visitor to the South Wales Valleys will be subjected to a language that will initially be unfamiliar to them. This book features a tounge-in-cheek guide to the curious ways in which Valleys inhabitants use English, together with anecdotes, jokes, stories depicting Valleys life, and malapropisms from real-life Valleys situations.

Ronnie Barker
What a delight David Jandrell's book is
Darren Devine, Western Mail
It is a brand of humour that takes a pop at the pretentious.

Customer Reviews
Jandrell 'the scribe' : great offering from the valleys!
I picked up a copy of David's book and found myself chuckling from the start. His use of anecdotes, jokes and stories is a "must read" for everyone. I now know why I (as an Englishman) kept finding myself back over the Severn Bridge whenever I asked for directions from any 'local' in the valleys. It's a national sport, see... misdirecting tourists!!
The book is a better bargain than a bottle of Welsh claret, so give it a go - you will not be disappointed!
Welsh Valleys Humour
David Jandrell's book "Welsh Valleys Humour" made me laugh ... and laugh ... and laugh! Yes - Wales (our bit, anyway) really is like that. To those who believe Dave's book is the product of an overactive imagination I say "Tent" (or "Tint" if you come from our side of the mountain!) Read book for explanation!!!
Cracking value for £3.95 - where's Volume 2 then?
I'll give it five!

Fantastic Read
Hilarious read.
As a Jock (and proud of it), this book is a must for when you visit the valleys.
Side-splitting funny - and so true
