English Inns
WAS somewhat surprised last Thursday morning to find Major Lampen talking about Old English Inns, whereas presumably Old English Tea-rooms would be nearer the taste of the 10.25 audience. But probably it’s another case of the lure of the unknown, for whereas
Old English Tearooms are common. throughout the length and breadth of New Zealand, Old English Inns, with one _ possible exception, are unknown. Few New Zealand housewives are therefore likely to be entrants in
that fascinating pastime of collecting Old English Inns, which the Major dwelt on so lovingly, and which we gather from the dignified tone of the talk has no connection with the New Zealand pub-crawl. But though we cannot, through lack of first-hand knowfeel quite the same enthusiasm as Major Lampen for Georgian silver, grey Cotswold stone, and __beds-in-which-Queen-Elizabeth-slept, we welcome on, Thursday mornings that breath of man-of-the-world urbanity which steals from the microphone into our store-furnished living room.
