Irony in the Tube.
After all the efforts and good nature sometimes exercised in getting on to the right platform in a Tube station, it is quite nice to be faced by the following bold announcement—
"THE BEST WAY TO SEE LONDON IS FROM THE TOP OF A 'BUS."
Each word that follows is a stab at your heated and gross imbecility:—
"YOU ENJOY FRESH AIR. YOU SEE THE LIFE OF THE TREES. YOU PASS EVERY PLACE OF INTEREST."
Possibly the Tube will take its revenge and post the following advertisement on the buses:—
"ONLY IDIOTS TRAVEL BY 'BUS. THE TUBE IS FAR, FAR THE BETTER METHOD OF TRANSIT."
Private——writes from the Front:—
"Dear Mother, I expected when I come to France to hear the pheasants shouting the mayonnaise, but you dont."
"Reinforcements subsequently arrived, and a squadron of dragons then courageously attacked the enemy."—Westminster Gazette.
Thus heaping coals of fire on the head of poor St. George.
