A year in review made up of the wry and astute observations of the unpublished Telegraph letter writers.

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?

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."
