[Dixielandjazz] Earnest lady at the radio station

[Ivor Jones]

Hi Gang,

It was me wot had a problem with the National radio lady, it certainly was
not her fault, just another of the bureaucratic idiosyncrasies of this
country....Portugal... as David, has revealed. Having been on this list for
at least a couple of years, I thought that the oldest and most illustrious
of our listmates might have known where I was writing from, so I will go
back to my usual sign off.... No offence intended.

Ivor Jones from sunny Portugal
