THE MILKMAN COMETH

THE MILKMAN COMETH
A Satirical Memoir

Forty-four countries. A career in international business. And an alarming number of things that were never mentioned in the job description.

At twenty-seven, he became Head of Export. A splendid opportunity, he thought. Until he discovered that the business was losing four million.

An encouraging start.

What followed was a career that took him across continents and into situations no management textbook could possibly have prepared him for.

A small aircraft circling over Paraguay with a broken GPS. A pilot asking villagers for directions. A businessman attempting to squeeze himself into a Porsche in Warsaw. A business trip to Nigeria that proved rather more eventful than anyone had anticipated.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, a German milkman trying to conduct international business with a reasonable degree of dignity.

Not always successfully.

THE MILKMAN COMETH is Dux Loquax's sharply observed, wonderfully self-deprecating account of the absurdities of working life, international travel and human nature.

With distinctly British dry humour, he looks back on extraordinary encounters, spectacular misunderstandings, moments of unexpected kindness and the occasional triumph of common sense over corporate ambition.

But beneath the laughter lies something more: a genuine appreciation of the people, cultures and experiences that shaped a life spent crossing borders.

No invented heroics. No management sermons. Just real experiences, human contradictions and the rather inconvenient habit of life refusing to follow the plan.

For readers who enjoy travel memoirs, observational humour, workplace satire and true stories that are sometimes stranger than fiction.

Forty-four countries. Countless stories. One milkman.

And he hasn't finished yet.
