Dear Editor:
The trip from Basel to London
took only one hour by plane.
Air France had phoned to Lon
don for reservations at the
Hotel Cumberland, where we
had a very nice room with
bath. Prices were not as high
as we had expected.
Years ago, the writer visited
London. This large city has not
changed very much except
where the bombs of the late
war destroyed part of it.
The Bobbies (police) are the
same as ever—no gun, no club.
We noticed a drunk asleep on
the sidewalk, resting his head
against a garbage can, and
heard the policeman say, “Hi
say, old chap! Get hup!”
"Oh.” said the drunk, “HTm
all right."
The man of law and order
kept on walking. Nobody stop
ped but us, nobody took notice,
and the many pedestrians con
tinued to pass each other as
usual, while the bum turned
over on his other side.
Of course, we saw Picadilly'
and Trafalgar Square, where '
the the pigeons seem to out
| number the people of London.
, They lit on our shoulders and |
; made scratches on my bald
' dome.
We Americans use our fork
with the right hand, and our
English is different from Cock
; ney English.
i “Pardon me,” a large woman
| said, “H’Are you Canadians?”
We told her we were Ameri- i
| cans from Alaska.
“Alaska?” she said. “Hi say,
that's a blooming cold place,
and to live in those bloody
houses you call igloos — that’s
no joke, eh?”
We informed her that we
are almost civilized and live
in a very nice home.
“Now, hi say,” she said. “Hi
read where they live in 'omes
made from h’ice and snow.”
She stood up, ready to go, and
said, “Hi ’ope you like London,
and will be ’appy while you're
’ere.”
“Hope you come and visit us
in Alaska some day,” I said.
“Too blasted cold for me. old
boy.’”
Next afternoon we took a
sight-seeing trip through Lon
don lasting all afternoon. Lon
don is not much different from
other cities in Europe. The traf
fic is terrific. Bicycles, autos,
trucks, all try to pass each
other. There seems to be no
speed limit. They all drive with
the gas wide open. Yet we saw
no dented fenders, and the
newspapers do not report any
accidents.
That night we took in a show.
Admiral Bull Halsey, portrayed
by Cagney. It was good to hear
some real American language,
and our talk reflected our
thinking—that the U.S.A., es
pecially Alaska, is not a bad
place to be.
