Blackpool bracer
Sir: How very kind of Mrs Blane to express a little sympathy for this resort. We do not, of course, have Ozymandias on Shelley or Sodom on The Lots, but I suspect that Blackpool commentaries on its de- tractors would be sprinkled with ribald amusement at their nonsense of being both left wing and intel- lectual.
There is something about the bracing air of Blackpool which seems to pixilate even the most serious minded commentator. Mr Levin's difficulties some time ago with his chamber pot and the more recent extraordinary spectacles of you Sir, The Editor of the SPEC- TATOR, questioning our local bar- maids on the integrity of our public clocks are two examples which spring immediately to mind.
Now Sir. what about this ele- phant's anus? Elegancies are al- ways to be deplored for they fre- quently detract from the pleasures of the orignal. A less radical Mr Jenkins would of course have re- ferred to 'the hole in the elephant's bottom' through which he would have had the satisfaction of seeing 'the pretty girls' legs'. Of course. one could not implicitly promise this, for it would depend upon the quality of his own intelligence to know if he knew which way he was looking.
