Dead Dead and Never Called Me Mother
(East Lynn)
?
It was actually Frank Muir who
said it.? It's his custom after this
program to ring up his mother, who heard the program and ask her if it's all
right to come home.
?
And last week, he went round to the phone box to do this
and found it was already occupied by a very stout lady who was phoning her
married sister at Cox Fosters to tell her about the girl in her office, Elsie,
who'd been carrying on with Sid, from accounts and they'd gone down to Frenten
on a sharer and she'd gotten no better than she had any right to expect.?
?
And this went on for half an
hour.? And when Frank finally went in
there. He put his tupence in and And got no dialing tone at all.?
?
And I found him there with the
phone in his hand, sobbing piteously, and I said, "What's the matter with
the phone?"
?
And he said, "Dead, dead and
never called me mother."
