Per Stormin Mormon:
I used to get letters asking for #26 donation to the cause,
to campaign Congress to make English the official language
of the USA. I'd typically write back what a ruddy good
sight. Whilst I was taking the tyke out in the lorry from
my flat to the ironmonger to pick up a flex (the torch in
my flat went out, right by the telly). The tyke needed a
new nappy, so we stopped at Macky Dee for some bangors and
mash whilst pushing tyke in the pram.


The UK and the USA: Two great countries separated by a common language.


Englisher during the War, visiting USA. Using the
telephone long distance. Which was very rationed.
The operator came on the line and asked "are you
through?".

Anyone else know the rest of this anecdode? If
not, I'll tell it.
