Silly - but amusing

An English lady wishing to stay in a small German village in the mountains and not knowing any German, wrote to the local School Master to enquire whether there was a W.C attached to the cottage in which she was to stay. The teacher did not know this abbreviation and consulted the local Pastor who also knew little English.

 

Together they decided that the lady must be a devout churchgoer and wished to know the situation of the nearest Westleyan Chapel, and therefore sent her the following reply……

 

Dear Ladyship,

 

The W.C is situated about 7 miles from your lodging in the centre of a pine forest amid lovely scenery and is open Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is unfortunate if you are in the habit of going regularly, but you will be pleased to know that most people take their lunch and make a day of it.

 

There are a great many visitors in the summer and I advise you to get there early. There are about 80 seats but should you be late there is plenty of standing room.

 

I should particularly advise you to go on Thursday when there is an organ accompaniment. A bell is rung before each sitting. Hymn sheets are to be found hanging on the door. Both sides are to be used - please hang them up again when you have finished.

 

My wife and I have been unable to go for six months, which has pained us greatly. I should be pleased to reserve you a good seat and will accompany you myself if you wish.

 

Yours in anticipation……
