Born in Stockport - Grew up in the Royal Navy: Book One Born in Stockport - Grew up in the Royal Navy: Book One eBook : Perkins, Maurice: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

I made a childhood dream come true when I joined the Royal Navy but it wasn’t all plain sailing as I was due in court the day I joined up…

Read these raw and gritty memoirs to find out about the rascal I was before, during and after my service…

Welcome to #UKBookIndustryClicheBingo2026! This thread collates adjectives from The Bookseller's e-newsletter to identify the year's most over-used cliches.

2025's top cliche was 'major', ahead of 'new' and 'urgent'; 'extraordinary' won in 2024, while 'powerful' and 'major' tied in 2023.

It's pretty obvious to anyone who thinks about it. Books are a discretionary spend for most people.

A Japanese author won a similar award, and several TV crews from Japan covered the ceremony.

A friend won a major award and their publisher has never mentioned it. Others, long listed for the same award, have that fact mentioned in their publicity.

I've just set one up for my writing group. We hear so much good writing which never gets seen. At least they're now available. Good luck with yours.

Bloody hell, I used to work with that tw*t on the right. Last time we went for a drink he tried to start a fight with the barman because he thought he was being racist towards me. WTF is going through his head?

The man says, "I support reform but I'm not racist."

The Home Office is clearly still full of the racists put there by the Tories.
