Truly Silly is a collection of stories and anecdotes, as experienced by or told to the author. Nick loved regaling people with these and many other stories, and he was very good at it. He had an inimitable style which, for anyone who knew him, is very much apparent in this book. Consistency of detail was not a priority for him; having a good laugh with friends and family was. Often at other people’s expense, it has to be said, but no harm was ever intended. Everything and everyone were fair game to Nick, providing there was a good laugh to be had. His humour was often self-deprecating, for he had no ego whatsoever. Fortunately for his family and friends, he was persuaded to commit some of his favourite anecdotes to paper. Nick passed away in May 2022. With the publication of this book, his wife Sue and sons Patrick and Alex wish to honour his memory and provide a little memento for those who knew and loved him.
