Blott had to admit that the English themselves remained a mystery to him. They payed people more when they were unemployed than when they had to work. They paid bricklayers more than teachers. They raised money for earthquake victims in Peru while old-age pensioners lived on a pittance. They refused Entry Permits to Australians and invited Russians to come and live in England. Finally they seemed to take particular pleasure in being shot at by the Irish. They were only happy when something dreadful happened to them, be it flood, fire, war or some appalling disaster.

Weinig foto's geven een beter idee van de dimensies van een raceauto. De man links op de foto is Hans-Joachim "Strietzel" Stuck, zoon van de vooroorlogse Auto Union coureur Hans Stuck von Villiez. De auto is de Porsche waarmee hij in 1987 won in Le Mans.
WHO WON?
"Lekker buitje" zeiden de mensen tegen mekaar toen de zondvloed begon, en niemand overleefde, behalve een paar fanatieke doe-het-zelvers in een drijvend asiel.
