View Full Version : WW3 and The Civil Service
Sir Humphrey is down at the Givernment Archives researching plans for WW3 and has come across this gem.
I can just imagine Sir Humphrey Appleby receiving Bernard’s draft for the minister and coaching him on how to reword it…..

Minister writes side note on memo ‘Spherical objects’
Later, Sir Humphrey enquires; ‘who is Spherical, and to what does he object?’
Use a small bothy between Gare Lock and Lock Long.

Remember to store the artworks upside down. That way you can have a final look as you're kissing your harris goodbye!

That is apparently from a story about Churchill towards the end of the War - he wrote 'Round objects' in the margin of a memo, only to be asked by an aide who Round was and why did he object?
I read it here on PPRuNe.
