By the way, when the Pope was here and attempted to speak English (it was him, not an interpreter?), his accent reminded me of Dr Strangelove.

Certainly recomend "the grapes of wrath", not directly PO related, but certainly relevant to the last great depresion, and therefore perhaps to the next one also.Roger Adair wrote:Although not strictly of this genre "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck and "Empire of the Sun" by JG Ballard pretty much fit the bill.
As an aside, the accounts of emergency repairs/bodges to motor cars could not possibly be done with a modern car.
Ever tried repairing an engine managment computer at the roadside with a pair of pliers and a monkey wrench ?
