We simply remember those elements of the North American population to whom the high-flown sentiments of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution did not apply. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I wonder. Do you people over there celebrate like we do on 4 July, but rather call it "Good riddance day?" There was a British person's experience read out on BBC Radio 2 once some years ago; he happened to be in the USA on 4th July, and made some quip to a local chap about our view of Independence Day, and the man rounded on him quite irately and asked "And just what the hell has Independence Day got to do with Britain??". The sort of thing you just couldn't make up... 2 1 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irreparably broken.

RMweb Premium Popular Post newbryford Posted March 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 Sitting by the window of her convent, Sister Barbara opened a letter from home one evening. Inside the letter was £100 her parents had sent. Sister Barbara smiled at the gesture. As she read the letter by the window, she noticed a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against the lamppost below. Quickly, she wrote, "Don't despair. - Sister Barbara," on a piece of paper, wrapped the cash in it, got the man's attention, and tossed it out the window to him. The stranger picked it up, and with a puzzled expression and a tip of his hat, went off down the street. The next day, Sister Barbara was told that a man was at her door, insisting on seeing her. She went down and found the stranger waiting. Without a word, he handed her a huge envelope. “What's this?" she asked. "That's the £4000 you have coming Sister," he replied. "Don't Despair came in at 40-to-1." 3 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Don't Despair came in at 40-to-1." There are similarities to the humorous poem (I'm not sure of the author) 'The Bishop's Mistake': The bishop glanced through his window-pane On a world of sleet and wind and rain, When a dreary figure met his eyes Who made the bishop soliloquise. And as the bishop gloomily thought, He ordered pen and ink to be brought, Then 'Providence Watches' he plainly wrote And pinned the remark to a ten bob note. Seizing his hat from his lordly rack, And wrapping his cloak around his back, Across the road the bishop ran, And gave the note to the shabby man. That afternoon was the bishop's 'At Home', When everyone gathered beneath his dome. Curate and canon from far and near Came to partake of the bishop's cheer. Into the good old bishop's hall Came a stranger lean and tall. 'Your winnings, my Lord!' he cried. 'Well done: "Providence Watches" at ten to one!' It is to be noted on Sunday next How the bishop carefully chose his text, And from the pulpit earnestly told Of the fertile seed that returned tenfold…. 5 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother never understood it. Several of the men in the family would say that they believed in Santa Claus and that he brought them presents. Our house had a big makeover courtesy of Santa Claus. Take a look at horse acing results for 1964 when he won the Derby and several other classic races. Bernard 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
