The Best of Alex 2004

by Charles Peattie (Author), Charles Peattie (Author), Russell F. Taylor (Author)

Synopsis

Alex's agony continues. Having been ruthlessly downsized from his beloved job in the City last year Alex finds himself still out of work. He explores a number of unsuccessful career avenues (headhunting, working in industry) and his colleague Clive is forced to undergo a disastrous spell as a Financial PR man. Finally comes the ultimate indignity when Alex has to withdraw his son Christopher from his exclusive private school. Will Alex and Clive manage to find gainful employment again before their high-maintenance wives divorce them? This latest collection of cartoons from the business pages of the Daily Telegraph will strike a chord with anyone in the financial community who has entertained the fear (or indeed reality) of unemployment as well as appealing to hardened Telegraph readers in the Shires.
