This book, The Langley Boy To Be Better Than The Best! Part 3 of the Langley Boy Trilogy, is the story of the author’s ultimate success in fulfilling his long-held ambition to become a chief officer in local government, responsible for engineering, architecture, land management, and direct labour organisations. It details the David and Goliath struggle between local authorities and central government to prevent the privatisation of essential services such as refuse collection and cleansing and the maintenance of highways, sewers, vehicles, parks, and open spaces. It outlines the author’s leadership and management skills, his philosophy that failure is inconceivable, and his successful reorganisation of the councils’ workforces at Swansea and Rushcliffe to protect employees’ jobs, pensions, and conditions of service. The book contains family anecdotes of moving homes, creating new gardens, a wedding, the joys of grandchildren, the sadness of parents’ deaths, taking children to theme parks and pantomimes, and the fun of dressing up as hippies, punk rockers, and clowns at family parties. There is a fund of stories involving the author and his wife Hilary, hiring a narrow boat with friends to cruise the Cheshire Ring, buying a caravan to tour parts of the UK, travelling to Germany to sample its wines, and suffering from chateaux fatigue in the Loire Valley. It covers a trip to Spain to solve the first recorded incident of bearnapping, events in Langley, and creating T-shirts and specialty cakes for family special occasions. As a former member and president of the Rotary Club of West Bridgford, the author organised a series of charitable fashion shows, duck races, Christmas collections, and other events to help the less fortunate in the UK and overseas. In retirement, he became chairman of governors at West Bridgford Infant School, during which time the school was designated as outstanding by Ofsted.

Brilliant brothers Langley and Homer Collyer are born into bourgeois New York comfort in settled times, their home a fin-de-siècle mansion on upper Fifth Avenue, their future rosy. But before he is out of his teens Homer begins to lose his sight, Langley returns from the War in Europe with his lungs seared by gas, and when the death of their parents in the influenza epidemic of 1918 leaves the brothers orphaned, they seem perilously ill-equipped to deal with the new era. Around Central Park carriages give way to motor cars, Prohibition to free love, but Homer and Langley adapt: their townhouse fills and empties and fills again, with servants, lodgers, tea-dancers and gangsters. They are mocked and spied on, embraced by hippies and besieged by bailiffs, but as the world turns ever more incomprehensible Homer and Langley hold fast to their principles of self-reliance, courage, kindness and love, and they endure.

Surviving the might of the Luftwaffes attacks on Hawkers aerodrome and the doodlebug flying bombs, the Langley Boy is an eyewitness account of a working class boy, growing up in the rural village of Langley, Buckinghamshire, during the period of wartime austerity and rationing until the more prosperous Rock n Roll years. It is a boys own story of gang warfare, trolley racing and escapades in an adventure playground of a rubbish dump, a surplus army vehicle compound, the Grand Union canal, a gravel pit, cherry orchards and open meadowland. On a more sombre note, it deals with the tug-of-war relationship with his parents, their jealousies, harshness, love and affection. It provides a perspective on the strict teaching regimes at Langley primary and junior schools and the overpowering influence of the dreaded 11+ examination. It describes family weddings with aunts dressed in flamboyant hats, and annual family holidays on the beach at Jaywick Sands and Llandudno. It recalls the memorable Saturday morning trips to the Granada cinema to see Roy Rogers, Laurel and Hardy and the delights of boys comics, and it relives the thrills and spills at Pelhams fair and Langley fete, festive bonfire night celebrations, the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd and the advent of television. The painful voyage from boyhood to manhood takes place at Slough Grammar School for Boys, marked by the struggle to master the sciences with ultimate academic and sporting success in the sixth form. It covers the social impact of the Teddy boy era, the influence of the church, the advent of pop music with Bill Haley and Lonnie Donegan and life behind the bar at the North Star public house in Slough. In short, the book is about a boys determination to escape from his roots.
