Synopsis

ACCORDING to the Derby Telegraph, Anton Rippon is “the city’s favourite writer”. For the past 15 years he has introduced readers to a host of characters as he puzzles over self-service checkouts, press-button helplines and the near impossibility of finding a live human being to help him. Author of the best-selling A Derby Boy, an autobiographical memoir of growing up in the town after the Second World War, Anton has now produced The Bus Pass Years, based on his weekly newspaper column. They are all here – the shadowy Man at The Bar; Alf, who does all his clothes shopping at Age UK; and the Friday lunchtime crowd at the White Swan where, each week, the world is put to rights, along with regular trips down Memory Lane. The Bus Pass Years will delight anyone who enjoyed the 20th century but who is still trying to make sense of the 21st.
