The Dagenham Dialogues, originally published in 1971, have rightfully been acclaimed as the funniest and most popular collection of the wide-ranging dialogues of Dud and Pete, two archtypical men of Beacontree Avenue.<br><br>Moving from sex, art, religion, superstition, animals and royalty to the weightier matters of things that go "slurp, slurp, glug, glug" in the night, these twelve dialogues are gritty, eye-opening and utterly hilarious.

Dud: We said we'd rendez-vous in front of the Flemish Masters...That's right. I said I'd whip through the Abstracts, go through the El Greco, up the Van Dyke and I'd see you in front of the bloody Rubens.<br>Pete: No you didn't, Dud. It doesn't matter anyway.<br>Dud: Here have a sandwich. My feet are killing me.
