any Jews?

    If, as seems to be the case, Lucy lives in Bristol
    I'm truly baffled by her statement that she has never
    met a Jew.

    My God, in Bristol you can't move for Jews.
    They're everywhere. The chaps - at least, the ones
    without the funny hats & wringlets - all look like
    Woody Allen & the girls like Elizabeth Taylor.
    When I was there, the Mayor & the municipal council
    were all Jews. As well as the head of the Police Authority
    & the chairman of the magistrates. The Bristol orchestras
    are Jewish to a man & three quarters of the University
    chairs are held by Jews. The same percentage applies
    to the lawyers & the doctors. Also the editors
    & the social workers.

    In the restaurants you can order what you like but
    all you ever get is bagels & lox. And terrific black
    coffee.

    Whenever I sat down on a park bench in Bristol
    I was immediately accosted by a bunch of fellows
    trying to inveigle me into arguments about the second
    book of Kings; or wanting to hear my memories
    of Anna Freud; or demanding a subscription to
    the Israeli Defence Force.

    It's a wonderful town. But I really don't get it, Lucy.
    Do you live there at all?

    Scottie B.
