DICK AND STAN. Two with a view, or two.

By John Ratcliffe

For years, Dick and Stan offered the benefit of their broad world view to anyone who showed an interest (and many who showed no interest whatsoever) in the lounge bar of the String of Horses in the English village of Elmingly. At the suggestion of Landlord John Hancock, they recently turned to writing down their observations on anything and everything and not very much, with their wisdom now distilled into this powerful new book which will surely become essential reading for Prime Minister, the Clergy and anyone with a wife.
