Classic British Flight Sim

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the
world, so he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Rome.
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he
noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read
$10,000 per call. The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who
was strolling by, what the telephone was used for. The priest replied
that it was a direct line to Heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk
to God. The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

His next stop was in Moscow. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw
the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if
this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Rome and he asked a nun
what its purpose was. She told him that it was a direct line to Heaven
and that for $10,000 he could talk to God. "OK. Thank you," said the
American.

He then travelled to France, Israel, Germany and Brazil. In every
church he saw the same golden telephone with a "$10,000 per call" sign
under it.

The American finally decided to travel to the UK to see if the British
had the same telephone. He arrived in York and again, in the Minster,
there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it
read "20p per call". The American was surprised so he asked the priest
about the sign. "Reverend, I've travelled all over the world and I've
seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is
a direct line to heaven, but everywhere I went the price was $10,000
per call. Why is it so cheap here?"

The priest smiled and answered, "You're in Yorkshire now son. It's a
local call."

Well, there's something not quite right here..I lived in Neeuwcassell for a good few years and was assured that North Tyneside was God's own..and having spent time at that garrison in North Yorkshire I tend to agree with that

Derek, I am not going to ask the obvious question, "What would a "Pongo" know about such things?"


Graham

Good. I'm glad that you're not going to ask that question.
