A postman in Huddersfield for more than fifteen years, Kevin Boniface has had ample opportunity to survey the human condition in all its weirdness. In this collection of vignettes, set alongside photographs by the prize-winning Shaw & Shaw team, he paints a matchless - and hilariously recognisable - portrait of weekday life in an ordinary English town.

There is the Holme Close resident who sweeps his lawn with a dustpan and brush; the old buffer whose dream is to look inside the Grimscar post-box; and the 'wobbly New Age Romantic' who shows off in front of his Burberry-clad companion by trying to balance on bollards. Best of all, there is Rod Singleton, immortal sage of the smoking room and dispenser of wisdom on everything from Plasma TVs to rabbit stew to Christina Aguilera: 'If she had Jordan's tits she would be the perfect woman - apart from her face.'
