Maggie "Can't Stick" The Sea
For all that "Fred’s" Maggie fits into Sydney more’ rightly than the Australian born, she was nearly fifteen before she left her sea-coast town of Brighton, England. And to fun on those famous piers she probably owes more of her talent for comedy than she realises. Anyhow she was soon introduced to a new and fiercer surf at Bondi, the great surf beach at Sydney. Here she discovered that English swimming proficiency was _inadequate. By the time she was rescued, more dead than alive, by a band of bronze-bodied life-savers, she had come to a conclusion that has not altered with the years. She’s all for sun and salt air-for sand and beach parades -but, when it comes to surf? No, Maggie "can’t stick the sea."
