Richard here is the news, and this is john snag. Reading it. The creeping paralysis of war continues to spread throughout europe, As one country follows another in the refusal to give in to hitler and his tyrannical bid for supreme power in britain in the church hall at warmington on sea, captain mannering is addressing his men since we've been Together, man, we have had to face some dark times very dark indeed at last, though i'm happy to say, after all the darkness, We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It's a long tunnel very small light, nonetheless shining brightly for all to see. Mr rogers won't like that. I'm not referring to the blackout stupid boy, i'm talking about the war situation.
The fact is that, after our standing Alone against the nazi hordes for two years, help is now at held. Who is it son anybody? We know, I think you should it's the americans, oh good old, uncle. Sam hey, is your uncle american joe.
You never know he might be one of the ones coming over. No parker, you don't understand uncle Sam's, not really an uncle. Oh, I know what you mean yeah, it's like me, calling sergeant wilson uncle arthur, see, they're not really related.
It's just that. He spends a lot of time at my mum's talking in the ranks to me now. As you know, the americans came into the war a few months ago and the first consignment is now arriving from the usa.
They haven't exactly rushed, have they known for two and a half years now, with any of that sort of talk. When can we expect the american gentleman, sir? A small advanced guard will be arriving in warmington on saturday morning, and I think that we should give them a hearty welcome. You mean sort of uh run out the red carpet for them, sir, precisely haven't actually got a red carpet.
Of course, I could lay my hands on some carpet. That's just been taken out of the cottage hospital's casualty department - that's red not all over, but in patches, don't be disgusting walker. What we ought to do, sir, is to show the americans something typically british good idea.
Wilson, what about a a display of highland dance in sir you couldn't get more british than that. Could you yes, how about it fraser? Could you arrange a display you're, the president of the warming, to not see caledonian society, [ Music ], to be a wee bit difficult? Why i'm? The only one in it there used to be two of us, john mcclane and me, but when I put the subscriptions up to five shows a year he wouldn't pay. So I threw him out.
Mr speaker, yes, jim. I wish report i've just been struck by a thought. What is it well so, when I was in sudan and we signed a peace treaty with the word in dervishes general kitchener thought it'd be a good idea to have a get-together.
So he asked the doctors what they'd like to do and they said they wanted a spear-throwing contest, but he forbade it really. Why was that they wanted to use general kitchen as a Target anyway? The point of my story is why don't we invite the americans to watch a darts match at the red lion, excellent idea an evening at a typically english pub? What could be better, we'll invite them all to spare through to a dance match at the red line? On saturday night now we want it to be informal, of course, so you can bring your ladies with you I'll bring shirley, sir, you remember her. Don't you, mr marin works in the fish and chip shop? Oh yeah, not an easy girl to forget and uncle arthur.
I mean sergeant wilson will bring my mum. Won't you right! Oh yes, that's first jersey. What about you, sir? Would you uh? Would you bring mrs mannering? Oh no [, Music ].
No, somehow I don't think elizabeth would Do very much for anglo-american relations now. What else can we think of hey what about the banner stretched across the bar sir, with a message of greeting on it? Yes, yes, that's right! Damn yeah! I can get one made up for you, sir, very well. Walker yeah just tell me what you want and i'll take it down.
Oh, no, let's see how about um Hello to our brave american allies, go to it and you'll soon be home. You can't be that long twice around the bar and out across the ice street. I'll cut it down now, uh.
Well, I mean for a start. You don't want all that brave american allies stuff. Do you they don't have to tell the americans uh they're brave.
They know already, we'll just call them yanks. You don't Need to tell them where to go from what I hear about they'll, soon find out right, i'll cross that bit out then and uh. There's no need for the soon be owned bit uh, but let me just come into the war.
What have you got left, mr walker, um. Let's see, yanks go home and look welcome just make it a short greeting and don't spend more than tenuring. What's up just leave it to me there.

Godfrey decking one of them for treading on his sister's upside-down cakes is the best mental image to come from this. 😂
