Updated edition full of Cardiff facts, new in paperback
Authors David and Gareth take a trip through the places, peculiarities and past practices of Cardiff, stopping off to sample the culinary (and alcoholic) delights of the city along the way. From Clark’s Pies and a heaped helping of ‘Half and Half’ to the oddities of the ‘Kaairdiff’ accent, this fact-packed compendium reveals the contributions Cardiff has made to the history of the nation and recalls some of its famous faces – Shirley Bassey, Charlotte Church and Frank Hennessy amongst them – and popular attractions. This book is guaranteed to entertain, amuse and surprise everyone who picks it up.

David Collins is a local government officer and a teacher. He and Gareth Bennett are die-hard Cardiff City fans and the authors of two quiz books on the Bluebirds. Gareth is a trained journalist and keen local historian, while David has written extensively on Welsh soccer and Cardiff City and is a regular pundit on GTFM's Cardiff City phone-in.
