What is the Becket List Book all about I hear you ask
An A to Z of First World Problems is… just that. The Becket List is a not entirely serious compendium of 'First World Problems' - the sort of stuff that drives us round the bend on a daily basis. How is it that atonal music, bus stations, cling-film and coat-hangers can bugger us up so comprehensively? Or passport control people, modern poetry, or just about anything you'll find in a typical hotel bedroom?
Embracing both the inanimate - from allen keys to rawlplugs - and the animated (well, in some cases) - from your fellow-travellers to every third-rate waiter who ever walked the earth - this book is essential for your sanity.
As such, this comprehensive A to Z provides a signal service to humanity. A collection of entries about many of the things in life that, whilst essentially trivial, day after day contrive to b*gger you up. In the greater scheme of things they don’t matter a damn, but in the context of advanced civilisation they take on a huge significance. The book is both an important resource for future social historians and a call to action. It’s also, mostly, really rather silly.
Can you relate? I can.
The book is designed to give some light-hearted humour back into 2020.

About Henry Becket
Henry Becket was one of that curious breed, a Choral Exhibitioner at Cambridge, where he read... books. And magazines. He then spent decades nurturing what a head hunter once described as an iffy CV – as a Westminster speechwriter, lobbyist, wine merchant, copywriter, ad agency supremo (industry-speak for MD), and writer/director of innumerable eminently forgettable TV commercials in an awful lot of languages. He is lucky enough to have an impressively large family and is also pretty obsessed with sailing, skiing, claret, churches and hillwalking, among other things. Oh, and the foibles of the world around him. Obvs.Follow the book tour.
