PadMad

Haydn, a 53 year old Yorkshireman finds himself penniless and alone in a Lancashire ex-mining town which time seemed to have left behind and where strangers were definitely unwelcome. In the potentially dangerous and threatening world of Padiham, he decides to re-open a derelict drinking club. What he hadn't realised was that one had to be a Professor of Psychology to survive in such an environment. When the penny finally did drop for him, due to his sheer determination, he attempted and succeeded in changing from being the biggest piss-take in town to one of the most respected. Under the heading of Survival, all the old ethics acquired from his previous lifestyle needed to be thrown out of the window, replaced by completely new revolutionary ideas to take control of many alien situations such as shady characters, drugs, sex, armed robbery and violence. This book is not reading for the weak-minded or the easily offended, some of the accounts described can truly be described as mind-boggling... Enjoy!
