Lots of pillar boxes in London used to have two compartments, marked “London” and “Country”. I was once standing by one of these when I overheard a baffled American tourist ask, “Which country?”
This sign along the side of London Tube escalators is increasingly disappearing now: “Dogs must be carried.” Someone once asked, “What if I don't have a dog?” Someone else asked, “Where do I get one?”
