Powell & Pressburger's CANTERBURY TALE by Chaucer

"You've got that in reverse English," says the Yank with his stripes wrong-way-round. "Swell movies," he says of Salsbury. "It's a great thing to sit back in an armchair and watch the world go by in front of you."

"The people may get used to watching the world from the sitting position," warns the Home Guard. "Then when they really do pass through it they don't see anything." They take the blackout seriously in Kent.

The Yank asks after a local newspaper. Replies the Blacksmith, "That's when the pub opens." News: Salesgirl attacked! Luckily the Salvage Boys are on the case. "Did I say glue? I meant clue."
