"World Cup
Willie.?????????"
The BBC light programme broadcast a song about a promotional
emblem in triumph.
'Can we have Caroline?' The child in the back of the maroon
Austin A40 shouted.
'OK.' Derek uncharacteristically acquiesced. He was in a good
mood that sunny June afternoon. The whole country was in a good
mood, though the nations expectant mothers were no doubt afraid
they may have to christen their sons 'Banks Cohen Wilson Ball
Peters Charlton Moore Hurst Hunt Styles Charlton'.
'And now on Radio Caroline the hit sound of The Bachelors with
"Sound of Silence"' the DJ deejayed as the Austin
passed a giant poster of the Bayeux Tapestry 900 years old and
advertising beer. They were heading east to Colchester cutting
through the reservoirs between Ponders End and Chingford to avoid
the North Circular.
