No, Bampot Central's a radio play, not a book. Try again.

Come on Sass, did you not read the classics?
George and two friends go on a journey....two male friends....and George is a bloke too.
So....how many blokes is that?
and perhaps they are in some kind of nautical transport?
And if you haven't read it, you must. Its absolutely hysterical.
