Book description
After the phenomenal success of Steve Wright's Book of Factoids, Steve
returns with Further Factoids, bringing together the weirdest and most
extraordinary factoids from BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright in the Afternoon.
Steve Wright, one of nation's favourite DJs, is a man with a brain the
size of a small planet. Unfortunately for him, this brain appears to be
filled with trivia that would make Magnus Magnuson green with envy.
Fortunately for us, he has decided to let his brain gush out into
another hilarious, fascinating and informative compendium of strange and
bizarre facts from around the world.
For example, did you know that:
• Worcestershire sauce is basically anchovy ketchup?
• They add liquid detergent to our favourite bevvy in beer commercials
to make it foam more?
• Austria was the first country ever to use postcards?
• A hippo can open its mouth wide enough to fit Little Ant and Dec inside?
Bringing together more of the strangest and most hilarious factoids
from Steve's show, he provides explanations, commentary and anecdotes to
enhance this entertaining collection of hundreds of fun facts. 'Steve
Wright is a national institution.' Ricky Gervais
