I wondered when you'd trot out the unofficial anthem. You probably don't know, but one version "Waltzing Matilda" goes "wanking Matilda, bloody nearly killed 'er...etc" and some of the lads in my 3rd form year were sent to detention for singing it. Sounds like Enid Blyton! And no, I can't send a jolly swagman. We opened the borders and hordes of people flocked in, bring germs from afar.Slammed the gates again. But cheers to all those stable animals and blessed virg...no, wait! I mean Bloody Mary. Happy -happy

There was a similar "recruitment area" in Piccadilly Circus for several decades. It was known as "The Meat Rack"... Jx

ReplyDeleteSteal away, my dear! I found it via Tumblr, so it's doing the rounds... Jx
DeletePS the caption is my own, however...
