Out of Step OBVIOUSLY, by imputation, Mr. Cottrell is satisfied that he has got to the root of the problem. Rather in the same vein as the awkward recruit, he is the only man in step.
He has words to say, too, about urban clearways, considering that " indiscriminate parking of delivery vans" causes congestion_ Needless to add, Mr. C. favours these clearways.
have a less remarkable conclusion than some of Mr. C.'sthat he is no great shakes as a traffic expert.
Barrage ONE of my lesser feathered friends has complained to me in most pained terms. It appears that he was flying peaceably near Overstone Solarium, Northamptonshire, when his calm was disturbed by a succession of high-velocity cricket balls (intended, he thought, as an anti-bird barrage). However, on inquiring, I find that he chose to pass the area at a time when Mr. John Bishop was doing his best to win a cricket match.
Regretfully, I also have to report that Mr. Bishop and a team of cricketing removers from the London area (brought down by N.A.F.W.R. Metropolitan area chairman Mr. A. J. Bradick) failed by 5 runs to squash a combined East and West Midlands team of removers, who thereby appropriated a handsome trophy which had been donated by Mr. F. W. H. Winwood. Mr. Winwood is, of course, himself a West Midlands man and was also scorer—but I'm not suggesting anything!
These Overstone outings by the East Midlands area, N.A.F.W.R., are fast becoming a national occasion—and a most enjoyable one at that!
