Meanwhile in Cloud Cuckoo Land...
You really couldn't make it up could you?
In a dug-out in the Western Front...
"Good news Baldrick...the war won't go for long!"
"That's good Mr B. We're running low on the special coffee."
"Unfortunately, the only tiny fly in the ointment...if we ignore the special coffee...the only thing which may prevent our sure and certain glorious victory are the workers of Britain!"
"If you say so Mr B...it's funny you mentioned flies..."
"Baldrick, do not finish what you are about to say. That's an order!"
"Yes, Mr B"
"Apparently, the workers don't know a war is going on. No one's mentioned it - so they're not working hard at making munitions. Maybe they think the shell cases are brass umbrella stands...your sister works in a munitions factory, does she not Baldrik?"
"That she does, Mr B"
"According to the Telegraph, the reason we're not winning this war is your sister. I should write her a letter and ask her to sort out the war!"
