"I'm a Stranger Here Myself"
"TF you’re over in Britain this year and don’t know your way around very well, you will soon discover that one of the many odd characteristics of life in Britain is that the person you go up to to ask for directions is invariably terribly sorry, but he’s a stranger in these parts himself. The number of people who happen to be strangers in these parts themselves is quite astronomical, and probably accounts for the fact that you never see the British speaking to each other in trains."-Alan Melville. talking on "Strangers in These Parts," in the BBC’s North American Service.
