The Coronation

Posted on September 9, 2022 by Chris Cane

I did write a book a few years ago and it opens with this tale of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The book is still available at Amazon and a few other online stores. Even WH Smith in the UK used to have it! I was six years old; the year was 1953 and

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Chris Cane

Siamese twins walk into a bar and park themselves on a bar stool. Al says to the bartender, “Two beers please!” The bartender, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the beers. “Been on holiday yet?” “Off to England next month,” says Al. “We go to England every year, rent a car

We’re Hertz – They’re Not

Posted on August 1, 2010 by Chris Cane

Driving in the UK is not easy for someone accustomed to driving on the right with a left-hand drive car. I had a couple of driving experiences in England that nearly maimed me or an innocent British driver or two. Luckily in my many trips no harm was done. I will recount here my first

Right Hand Driving – Just BUDGE over if you can.

Posted on July 30, 2010 by Chris Cane

In 1989, Cheryl and I took a trip to England and France. Part of the trip was business and part was pleasure. We arrived in London, rented a car and headed north to Lincoln to Richardson’s UK headquarters for a couple of meetings. A lot of the journey was on the A46. Some of you

Posted on January 9, 2010 by Chris Cane

I'm sure that you get emails from time to time, many of which you simply find uninteresting and you're so happy that you have a delete key! And then every now and again, one arrives to make you smile or simply think. This email did a little of each. I realize that the original author

If you don’t loik sugar!

Posted on October 11, 2009 by Chris Cane

Well I guess I should add one of my Dad’s stories as well. Before my family left England when I was the ripe old age of ten, my Father traveled on business from time to time, I recall him returning from a trip when I was perhaps seven or eight. He spoke of the Bed
