About this ebook
What link is there between an English teacher, a diplomat, a police officer, an interpreter, a management consultant and a lottery-winner? These modern tales are told on a tube-train stuck in a tunnel rather than a pilgrimage to Canterbury - appropriately for a world where Mammon has the upper hand - and with apologies to Chaucer. They are witty and irreverent, at times poignant - and always thought-provoking.
