Welcome to Elsenham, once a quiet Essex village, now the front line of Britain's longest-running roadworks. One year. Endless cones. No survivors.

What started as a satirical take on road closures somehow gained traction, literally and figuratively. After long nights fuelled by tea and biscuits, and the occasional existential rant at a temporary traffic light, the book is finally done.

The Siege of Elsenham 2025 – A Year Under the Cones is a feverish chronicle of life trapped in traffic chaos, a Satirical report from the frontline of British absurdity. The tarmac cracked, tempers flared, and somewhere in the rubble, civilisation queued politely for its turn to collapse.

Martin Foskett turns road rage into art, a wild, hilarious howl at the madness of modern Britain. It's Orwell meets Python in a high-vis apocalypse. The cones never end. The lights never change. But the tea keeps flowing.

Please read it. Rage with it. Laugh until you break down on the A120.

Available from all good bookstores — and a few dodgy ones.

Written by Martin Foskett.

​In the grand tapestry of human history, generations weave distinct patterns, each thread contributing to the overarching design of societal evolution. The Silent Generation, often overlooked and humorously underestimated, stands out like a beige sock in a vibrant laundry pile among these colourful threads. Born between 1928 and 1945, the Silent Generation, or Traditionalists as affectionately dubbed, navigated a world of contrast and tumult, skillfully dodging the clamour of change while firmly adhering to their principles of hard work, loyalty, and traditional values.
