520    "When Ben Aitken learnt that his gran had enjoyed a four-
       night holiday including four three-course dinners, four 
       cooked breakfasts, four games of bingo, a pair of 
       excursions, sixteen pints of lager and luxury return coach
       travel, all for a hundred pounds, he thought, that's the 
       life, and signed himself up. Six times over. Good value 
       aside, what Ben was really after was the company of his 
       elders - those with more chapters under their belt, with 
       the wisdom granted by experience, the candour gifted by 
       time, and the hard-earned ability to live each day like 
       it's nearly their last. A series of coach holidays ensued 
       - from Scarborough to St Ives, Killarney to Lake Como - 
       during which Ben attempts to shake off his thirty-
       something blues by getting old as soon as possible."--Page
