is a wonderfully funny, relentlessly satirical, laugh-out-loud read aimed at giving long-suffering commuters everywhere a weapon to fight back with. Its the perfect antidote for nightmarish travelling companions everywhere!
Each character within the book is illustrated by a hilarious cartoon caricature as well as a 'pain spotting' description which covers:
* General characteristics, which will describe the 'pain'
* Annoyance value, which rates the 'pain' from 1 (limited annoyance) to 10 (extreme annoyance)
* Rarity, which rates the pain from 1 (exceptionally rare) to 10 (very common)
* Seasonal variations, which identifies any seasonal changes to the pain and their severity/rarity
* Avoidance/revenge strategies
Pains on Trains is the perfect way to take the tedium out of commuting, guaranteed to become as indispensable to the seasoned traveller as the blow-up pillow or water sterilising tablets.
