It's 1983. Convent-educated teenager Gail dyes her hair blue and escapes suburban boredom in Surrey to live a more exciting life among the colourful punks and squatters of London.
Leaving behind the twitching net curtains and disapproving looks of beige Morden (A.K.A. Bore-don), Gail places an advert in a music paper to seek out likeminded "friends and weirdos", and so her adventure begins.
Soap The Stamps, Jump The Tube is an anarchic stomp through London in the 1970's and 1980's, and features a huge cast of colourful characters, a chronology of bizarre experiences, some curious employment prospects, and a full spectrum of hair colours.
*Warning: this book contains graphic scenes of hair crimper abuse that more delicate readers may find upsetting
