The message
from "Harold Walker" contains these words:

Just spent a couple of weeks in what once was "Great Britain".....would
not give tuppence for living there now....it aint what it used to be and
not by a long shot....I used to love to ride the trains to see the
beautiful
looking gardens at the back of the houses along the railroad tracks....no
more....most of them looked ugly with huge weed patches and broken down
greenhouses etc....looks as tho the pride that once was there has gone
elsewhere....

American visitors on trains telling Brits all about Britain, you have
to laugh.

Last week I was sitting on a train to Glasgow reading the latest news
about London attacks and an apparently middle-class, educated,
well-dressed American tourist said "say, we've been in two
security-evacuations here in Scotland since we arrived on the 5th, but
everyone was completely calm....we don't understand it. Aren't you folks
scared of bombs?" I replied something about nothing new, IRA on the
mainland, Blitz etc. He looked at me blankly and said "But England has
never been attacked before". His wife looked mortified and said " I
think they were bombed in the war, dear", to which he hastily replied "I
meant, England has never been attacked within living memory".

That's a bit like the American tourist who went round Windsor Castle and
asked why they built a castle so close to the airport. (True story)
