THREE-MINUTE EGG
Sir,-A. P. Gaskell’s heroine in "Who Steals My Purse" (Listener, 14/11/47) mis as dumb as Les Wilson himself if she cooks eggs and bacon before her husband gets in the gate. Does Mr. Gaskell know how long it takes to® fry an egg?-About 3 minutes, and a little longer for the bacon, and at any rate I doubt if a smart woman would have eggs and bacon for tea let alone cook it beforehand. Have the pan and other things ready, yes; but cook it no! Check up next time, Mr. Gaskell, and don’t spoil the pathos of the climax by inserting a piece of culinary bathos in | the introduction.
