If you've ever wondered what stories James Herriot would have told if he'd been an environmental health officer and not a vet, then wonder no more because this is the book he'd have written. Having been disillusioned by his second career choice and abandoning it after only one year, Brian saw something in the local evening newspaper that would change his life forever. He also saw a job advert for a student environmental health officer and successfully applied for it. In this debut book, Brian lifts the lid, drops it and then lifts it again on aspects of the job the reality television series 'A Life of Grime' didn't.
