The British Spirit
The. “carry-on-at-any-cost” spirit of British business people is exemplified by the attitude of a large London company which deals in typewriters. After a recent raid the company sent the following letter card to its clients:— “hashed if they haven’t got us again! Burnt out of 97 Queen Victoria street, busted windows at 91, and now blasted out of Balmoral Buildings, with everything gone but our bodies and souls! With these and a couple of typewriters we got in at 15 New Bridge street, London, E.C.4, with a firm determination to stick to the old city to the end Victory! Telephone number will be advised—when we get one!”
