Pensioners - Haynes Explains (Owners' Workshop Manual) : Boris Starling: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: the perfect funny gift for any retiring person - I bought Pensioners – Haynes Explains (Owners' Workshop Manual) as a gift for my dad when he retired, and it turned out to be one of the best presents I could have picked. He absolutely loved it and spent a good while laughing his way through the pages. The book is written exactly like a classic Haynes manual, but instead of fixing cars it “explains” how to operate a pensioner – including things like early bedtimes, complaining about the weather, and the mysterious ability to fall asleep in front of the TV within minutes. It’s incredibly well done and anyone familiar with Haynes manuals will appreciate the jokes even more. My dad kept saying how accurate some of the sections were, which probably says a lot about how quickly he’s settled into retired life already. It’s a light-hearted, funny read and perfect as a retirement gift. Overall, a brilliant little book that gave everyone a good laugh. If you’ve got someone retiring (especially a dad who grew up with Haynes manuals), this is a guaranteed winner. Review: At last! A Haynes Workshop Manual to help with Retirement! - So pleased I ordered this for my husband’s retirement, he’s always been a fan of the Haynes Manuals! Great present that made us both laugh! Well worth!

Next day Amazon delivery didn't happen
Item is great and very funny but Amazon delivery a day later than promised meant it wasn't given to the person intended for their birthday meaning I've got to either post it or do an 80 mile round trip to deliver it. Although they emailed to say it would be a day later delivery that wasn't much use to me as I bought this mainly because it was next day delivery. Don't make promises you can't keep Amazon! 5* for the item though so not the sellers fault
