Guest guest Posted November 18, 1998 Report Share Posted November 18, 1998 An elderly couple, no longer able to walk far, wrote to the manager of the Palm Court Hotel to book a holiday and asked him if he could let them know where the nearest WC was situated. The managaer thought they wanted a Wesleyan Chapel, so imagine their horror when the following letter arrived: **************************************************************************** Dear Sir, I regret to inform you that the nearest WC is five miles from the hotel, which is a great pity if you are in the habit of going regularly. However, it may interest you to know that some people take lunch and make a day of it. Those who can do so,walk, others go by train and get there just in time. I myself never go. The last time my wife went was two years ago and she had to stand all the time. By the way, it has been built to accomodate 1000 people and it has been decided to replace the old wooden seats with plush ones to ensure greater comfort for those who have to wait a long time for proceedings to commence. There are special facilities for the ladies, presided over by the minister, who gives them all the help that they require. They all sit and sing together during the proceedings. Hoping this will be of some help and trusting that you will go regularly. Yours faithfully, XXXXXX PS. Hymn sheets are available and can be found hanging behind the door.
