      This annual collection features a selection of readers' letters that were too outrageous, witty, or unconventional to appear in the pages of the Telegraph. The letters showcase a range of humorous observations, such as inquiries about the Duchess of Cambridge's hospital gown design and cost, reflections on the meaning of "sede vacante," and a devoted husband's request for more household help. Other correspondents express their desire for unconventional episodes of popular shows and comment on political matters with a blend of bemusement and wit. Despite the prevalence of modern communication methods like texting and tweeting, the Telegraph's letters page remains a unique platform for articulate and thoughtful discourse. Regular contributors find writing to the Telegraph a way to vent their frustrations, and this collection highlights the cleverness and insight of its writers. The fifth volume presents a humorous alternative review of the year, covering topics from political scandals to royal events, demonstrating that the Telegraph's letter writers have a keen sense of what truly matters in contemporary discourse.

    • Every year august British newspaper The Daily Telegraph receives hundreds of thousands of letters and emails from its readers responding to and commenting on matters of the day—from the most controversial debates in Parliament, to the tawdry love lives of X-Factor contestants. Often these musings are too outrageous, left-field, or just plain hilarious for a serious Letters page, but not for a book! The sixth volume in a series that has become a perennial Christmas bestseller, What Will They Think Of Next...? offers an alternative and utterly unique review of the year.

    • The hilarious annual collection of readers' letters that were just too left-field, outrageous or witty to make the pages of the Telegraph. "Sir? Two days of news about the Duchess of Cambridge, and you haven't yet told us about her hospital gown. Who designed it? How much did it cost? And has she worn it before?"--Sir? Sede vacante has not always been connected with the death of a pope. When I was growing up in the 1970s we would use the expression at home to denote that the bathroom was free.' -- Sir? Being a devoted husband, as well as a staunch and active member of the Conservative Party, I'd be grateful to learn what further changes it will adopt, especially in regard to monogamy. My wife could do with a bit more help around the house."
