The 'Totally Ted!' columns are written by well-known Devon author Ted Sherrell. First appearing in newspapers across West Devon and East Cornwall, they give voice to Ted's many thoughts about modern life. Whether Ted is writing about his phobia of technology, his idea for a 'colander' list instead of a 'bucket' list, the perils of shopping, or his dislike of television reality shows, the one thing guaranteed is that he is always a self-confessed grumpy old cynic. Nevertheless, these contemplations on day-to-day life contain a large dose of humour and a great deal of wisdom.
