The Dalek had an Aussie accent



Spoke to a teacher from a North Staffs school at work. She taught English and had never heard of Wordsworth

Did laugh at the reminiscence of Bernard Cribbins appearing with Peter Cushing in Dalek Invasion Earth 2150 with Cushing as Dr Who- I saw it sometime in the early 60s-both men corpsing as the lead Dalek had an Aussie accent. I recount this to sosmeone who buys Dr Who annual

 Overheard a young man in the cafe say that " She shot me 4 times in the head". I think they were talking about paint ball game, but then it was Leek.

Woman tells me that she is off to a Buddhist retreat for the weekend. Noticed that she had a bottle of whisky with her. Surely that cannot be an aid to meditation?

Told customer that the first coffee house was opened in Oxford in the 1650s by a couple of Jews. Cromwell allowed the Jews back after they had been booted out by Edward i in the 1290s because he wanted to renege on loans that had raised for him I presume for funding the building all those castles in N Wales

Man used to work at GEC Stafford recalls visit to Stone of Malenkov ex Soviet premier in 1954 and the heavies with him. He had a problem with security people after that
