“DOWN AT THE PUB”
A COCKNEY PHILOSOPHY (Rec 9 p.m.) LONDON, July 4. “Are you afraid of flying bombs? ” an old Cockney was asked yesterday. His reply was, “ No, guv-nor. You see, they haven’t a chance against me. First, ‘ Jerry ’ has to pop them off, and that is not easy with our plahes about. Then they have to cross the Channel, and that is not easy either. Then comes London —‘ Jerry ’ can't miss that, but then he has to find Hackney, then Bluebell avenue, then No. 59, and then most likely I’ll be down at the pub.”
