I'm not surprised! When we landed in London a couple of years ago, there were only three women, and each was dressed in the traditional head coverings, stamping all passports. I thought I had gotten off in Saudi Arabia, but it was London!

I used to know an Englishman who flew with the RAF in World War II. One day, I said to him, "Cheer up! There'll always be an England." He looked at me and said, quietly but firmly, "No, there won't."
