Wanted: One Freudian Slip, and all other odd items considered

In this wonderfully humorous and entertaining anthology of letters and replies Michael Lee endeavours to locate the most unusual and generally non-existent items imaginable from a variety of high-profile individuals and organisations, including the Archbishop of York, Lord Harewood, the Chief Magistrate of Bow Street Magistrates Court and even MI5. Beginning with a bizarre letter of request to Next Retail Ltd for a Freudian Slip for his wife s birthday present, Lee relentlessly pursues a host of unsuspecting people with strange enquires from attempting to purchasing a corporate ladder to aid career progress, to trying to locate his missing umph that he lost on the tube. There are letters asking for advice about quasi medical conditions such as The China Syndrome , and even a request to the Head Chef at the Savoy for the ancient Roman delicacy of roast donkey for a forthcoming toga party. Wanted: One Freudian Slip is a brilliant and hilarious excursion into the surreal world of quintessential British humour.
