The Funny Farm : 9781490930596

An hilarious comedy.If you like Tom Sharpe you'll love this! Charles Wilson is a furniture maker and restorer who together with three other tradesmen, have found themselves monopolised by a mutual wealthy client, Frank Knight. Frank Knight is a self confessed picky bastard who fusses to the nth degree over details. dado rails are screwed in more positions than a porn star; leaving more holes to fill than the site of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Frank is the family firm's accountant, and unknown to his father, devotes more energy into squirrelling company funds into what he believes are valuable paintings and antique furniture, and other personal assets; not to mention improvements to his family pile. Friction develops when one of the tradesmen spends more on his mobile selling his detcting finds. The atmosphere is only made worse by the disappearance of a large amount of cash, and the subsequent cloud of suspicion. The proverbial hits the fan when Frank's wife Nisha takes matters into her own hands. Just to add to Charles' problems, he discovers intimate details to his apparently hardworking wife, a Headteacher. Unfortunately the course of action he takes to save his marriage produces disastrous results. Charles believes he has found refuge from The Funny Farm, in a new wealthy client, Rachel Foxley. However Rachel also happens to be young, extremely attractive and single.
