“NOISY MOMENTS"
LONDONERS' COOLNESS Evidence that Londoners’ morale has not been harmed by German bombing is given in a humorous and candid letter just received by an Auckland business house from a firm of export agents. “As you will have read in the press,” the manager writes, “we still have our noisy moments these days, but all at this address are still' in one piece. Most of us have witnessed battles between large numbers of aeroplanes and seen things which until recently it was thought could never happen in England. “While nobody feels very brave when a dive-bomber is coming down with its terrific roar, very few folk show signs of mental disturbance, the majority—outwardly at least—treating the whole thing as some odd joke. “A neighbour of the writer’s, having been chased along the road at 82 miles per hour by a German aeroplane, then arriving home to find his house badly knocked about, had a whisky and then went to find out what had happened to his tomatoes.”
