Sebert Graham's laughter pervades this tale of a Jamaican immigrant who sailed to Britain in 1960. He found work easily and his employers soon recognised his potential and he found himself as mayor of his local town. This book was distilled from his conversations with Ian Mulder. Ian distilled their 40 hours of audiotape into this record of their shared journey, which will entertain and inform all who are interested in the quaint traditions and constant transformation of the United Kingdom through the decades.

From the Back Cover

Sebert Graham's laughter pervades this tale of a Jamaican immigrant who sailed to Britain in 1960. He found work easily and his employers soon recognised his potential. This book was distilled from his conversations with Ian Mulder, who contributed the questions and heckling which interrupted the main flow. Ian distilled days of audio tape to produce this record which may entertain and inform all who are interested in the quaint traditions and constant transformation of the United Kingdom through the decades. Sebert's life work illustrates how much effort, mostly voluntary, has been invested into reinventing Britain as a multicultural land at peace with itself.

Born into a large affectionate family in rural Jamaica, Sebert charmed his teachers, relatives, bully-boy peers and Army NCOs while he went his own rebellious and pioneering way. Moving to a market town nestling in Buckinghamshire's Chiltern Hills, he involved himself in youth work and community relations. Frustrated with local government red tape, he decided to stand as a town councillor, and a few years later was elected Mayor. He remains awed and humbled at the opportunity he was given to work for the whole community.
