Ever been late? Steve has. Lots. But he always has a good excuse. Here are 101 real corkers for you to enjoy. And maybe even borrow...
* Distracted by a surprisingly complicated Kinder toy
* Overcome by the urge to alphabetise my pets
* Forgot how trousers work
* Became temporarily feral
* Got stuck in a romantic montage

Why Steve Was Late is a book of hilarious (and even - occasionally - plausible!) reasons for tardiness, handily dreamed up and illustrated by someone else.
