BRITISH NEWSPAPERS
Commenting on a complaint from a Mr. Arthur Purdey about a
large gas bill, a spokesman for North West Gas said, "We agree it was
rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr. Purdey has been
charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his
house." (The Daily Telegraph)
Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen
van, because they cannot issue a description. It's a Special Branch
vehicle and they don't want the public to know what it looks like. (The Guardian)
A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable
Teeth was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coast guard
Spokesman commented, "This sort of thing is all too common". (The Times)
Mrs. Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the
audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled. "He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out 'Heil Hitler.'" (Bournemouth Evening Echo)
