Where is Overseas?
Sir,—l think I can help Professor Crawford on the location of Overseas. We came to this country trom Overseas. It is a large island north of Nandi Airport. There are numerous tribes, the three dominant ones being: the Poms, who inhabit the far North, have Yorkshire accents and the best jobs; a large tribe called American Tourists, who live on the west coast around the city of Disneyland (the country’s capital); and the smallest of the three which is Dutch-speaking. Several lesser tribes live in the hinterland. As to Abroad, my mother-in-law, who lives on the west coast of Overseas, has always referred to this country as Abroad. How odd you did not know that.— Yours, etc.. lAN BLISSETT, President.
