About the Book

This book is a superb example of what a miscellany of this kind should be. Not many people can boast keeping a Daybook for over 60 years. And Lord Woolf's concerns that "Next Please will rapidly become the after-dinner speaker's bible and that my colleagues will plagiarise the excellent stories it contains before I can do so" are undoubtedly justified. But there is enough in the book to keep audiences amused from Sutherland to Cornwall, Dyfed to Norfolk, for years to come.

About the Author :
His Honour Peter Mason, QC, was a Circuit Judge for many years - sitting regularly at the Old Bailey, Snaresbrook and Inner London Crown Courts (where he was Senior Judge). On his retirement from the bench, when he moved from London to Gloucestershire, he became involved with several of the City's regulatory organisations but he also left plenty of time to indulge his hobbies and pastimes. These have included foreign travel, carpentry, cycling, and trying to get to grips with his word processor! Peter Mason is a Yorkshireman by birth and breeding, and only when you know him well will he disclose that his parents sent him to a grammar school in Lancashire! From there he went to Cambridge, where he proudly represented the University at rugby. His career was interrupted by the war which he spent "working in Italy" at places such as the Sangro and Monte Cassino. Thereafter it was into practice as a barrister on the North Eastern Circuit. As a distinguished after-dinner speaker, Peter Mason has never been short of material for a speech. Since 1938 he has collected anecdotes, quotations and amusing stories from a multitude of sources. In his foreword, the Lord Chief Justice of England, Lord Woolf, observes that Peter Mason was not only a very good judge, but also a very popular member of both the Bar and the Bench. Part of his popularity is no doubt attributable to his ability to deliver a humorous story on almost any topic that anyone raises!
