A reminder of the unseen people who are helping all of us through the pandemic. And how grateful we should be to them.

Read the review in Sunday times and really enjoyed reading it

Loved this little book, wish it had been much longer.

What a beautiful piece of writing. Deeply felt, humane and profoundly moving. He must be a lovely man - I’m sorry to see he lost his wife recently. What a lucky woman to have known him. I loved the extract in the Sunday Times so much. A great writer.

The humour and the humanity punch through this brilliant slice of Covid life.

Fascinating glimpse into the life of a delivery driver, but also all the people and places they go, and how everyone reacts differently to the pandemic. Brilliant to capture this slice of ordinary lives during an extraordinary period in the world’s history. Written with genuine warmth and humour. Love the little details about the thoughts and memories that were triggered by the sights, sounds and smells he came across. Very evocative. Wish he was my delivery driver!

I loved this!!

A completely different look into delivery drivers lives:

It’s funny humbling and also written to raise money for a cancer charity close to the authors heart:

Give it a read: it’s That Good

Deserves to be number 1

From globetrotting cameraman to grocery delivery boy - Paul reveals how one person adapted to the impact of the pandemic.

The best little book you will ever read. Captures the true spirit of those unsung key workers. Heartfelt, honest and humorous, a little gem.

Fantastic to see this topping the Apple Books charts for its genre. Outstripping the next best delivery driver biography by miles (I think the Barack bloke in at no.21 does Ocado?).

An equal parts humorous and touching insight into lives caught up in the torrent of change brought about by the pandemic.

An extraordinary dispatch from a seemingly ‘ordinary’ job.

One of the silver linings of the Covid pandemic.

The life on the other side; the smiles and the sobering; a lifestyle change cope and adapt.

Exactly why Paul and his like, kept other lives positive. Everyone gets a badge from me (even the ones who don’t deserve it - to remind them!)

To be read and shared. Eric - ESP

A wonderful snapshot of daily life in a pandemic stricken London, some of the characters of all stripes and the generally unseen people that keep it all going.

A beautifully rendered and powerful telling of the myriad stories of pandemic Britain through the eyes of a very good human indeed at the less celebrated end of the front line. Now, with many thinking the pandemic is over, it could not be a better time to remind ourselves of the struggles and loss, but also the hope and moments of simple joy that played out. That are still quietly playing out. Read this book. Cry, hold your loved ones tight, remember those lost, but also smile and laugh. Paul Lang has distillied humanity into a refrigerated crate with tenderness, with, emotional intelligence and an experienced storyteller's eye.

This is like finding a new brilliant chippy. I want everybody to know about it, but I want to keep it all to myself too! But...everybody deserves the best chips.

Beautiful little book that captures the funny, sad & wonderful insights of a supermarket delivery driver working through the pandemic.

Lovely little read and well written. Everyone should read this and remind themselves to be kind to each other and see the simple things in life, whilst wearing a safari suit preferably!

A warm, funny, sad and thought-provoking insight into the pandemic as experienced on the doorsteps of London by a Tesco’s delivery driver. The fact that this particular driver is also one of the country’s most respected documentary cameramen, forced to find alternative work when the TV industry closed down, gifts us a unique observational eye. This should be required reading for everyone who ordered a food delivery during Covid or stood outside to applaud key workers. Cricklewood was lucky to have Paul. Hollywood should pick up his story.

This simple and beautifully written book opens yours eyes to the life of a key worker during the pandemic. Everyone has a story if only you take the time to listen. Sometimes we are just too busy going along with our own. Long May the kindness of many during the pandemic linger. Thank you Paul for sharing these stories. And your grandma was right. Now it’s time to write the ones from your filming days. I’d love to know how your key worker experience shapes your work going forward.

Thank you for sharing your experience of your very different work Paul. A moving insight into the strange world of a delivery driver in Covid London carrying out such vital support work. A great story from a great guy.

A truthful rendition of working during the pandemic, with a lovely story and heartfelt writing by Paul. This man is a genius.

This is a brilliant account of how somebody with true passion and compassion reinvented himself during the most challenging times any of us have ever faced. A must read for anyone with a heart.

What a fantastic insight into the trials and tribulations of the fight for survival in these unprecedented times. From worldwide travel capturing breathtaking images in exotic locations, to driving a delivery van in the early hours on the North Circular in the dark, cold, wet winter months is a contrast so vast - it’s hard to imagine ! The fact that Paul makes this near seamless transition with a smile on his face, is truly amazing. His clients were blessed to have such a caring, sunny, amenable delivery driver. And little did they know. His stories are sad, funny and everything in between. Highly recommended.

A great read! I’d highly recommend, a light hearted look into the life of a delivery driver and his customers during a global pandemic.

Amazingly witty and inspiring stories, the best 80 pages I’ve read in a long time!

A unique behind the scenes, real life tale of a delivery driver. Not only is Paul ex high end TV cinematographer and new to delivery driving … but he takes on his new job when work dries up… and during a pandemic. Fabulous!
