[BITList] British hospitality

[John Feltham]

G'day Folks,
 

An American tourist in London wanders around, seeing the sights and
occasionally stopping at some small pub to have a pint of beer. After a
while, he finds himself in a very nice neighbor hood with stately
residences.

No pubs, no restaurants, and worst of all no public restrooms.

However, he really has to pee, after all those pints of beer. He finds a
narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and
decides  to use the wall to solve his problem.

He is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobby, who says, "Sir, you simply
cannot do that here."

"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really have to pee,
and I just can't find a public restroom."

Just follow me" says the Bobby. Then he leads the American to a back
delivery alley to a gate, which he opens. "In there," points the Bobby,
"Whi-z- a-way,  Sir, anywhere you like!!"

The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has
ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, big fountains, sculptured hedges, and
huge  beds of flowers.

He relieves himself immediately. As he goes back through the gate, he says
to the Bobby "That was really nice of you. Is that what you call English
hospitality? “


"No, Sir..." replied the Bobby, “That is what we call the........."
American Embassy !
