No Wonder The Bathroom Was So Tidy.' And Nobody Minds. But In My Day, To Go Abroad With All Those Wicked Frenchmen, What Would Become Of Them? So No-one Ever Went Anywhere.

Central Europe Is Full Of Little Countries Standing Shoulder To Shoulder With No Window To The Sea.

And They're All Crushed Together Waving Their National Flags, Clanking Their National Chains, Jabbering Their National Language.
