Wr tOr Seeks Job
We've been talking about it
for a long time. It would mean
a Major upheaval in the family.
DO it's two against one, and
this ia a democracy. Unless, of
course, your wife happens .to
constitute the minority.

exchange teaching job, for one
year, in the United Kingdom. I
must be out of my mind, but I
did.
Daughter Kim is all for it.
With the adventurous spirit of
the young, and their complete
lack of participation in all the
work involved, she glows at the
prospect. •
After all, England is the land

Stones and the highest xnini-
skirts.
England, as the song says,
swings like- a pendulum do.
That's for Kimbo.
She'd like nothing better than
to spend a year abroad. Not ac-
quiring a broad education.
Never! She looks upon eduCa-

No, what we'd like to pick
up"in England is a Carnaby st.
wardrobe and a Liverpool ac-
cent, so that she could knock
the local kids dead when she
comes home. The "mod" look
of Carnaby is bad enough, but
the dialect of the Liverpudlian
is surely the ugliest in the
world, outside, the pure Hotten-
tot. ,
What she 'doesn't pidture, and
I haven't the heart to tell her,
is the truth. If the deal goes
through, a year fronrnow she'll
be wading through the fog in
Little Muddling, or climbing
the cliffs on the Isle of Mull,
complete with rubber boots,
raincoat and sou'wester, ap-
proximately 3,000 social miles
from the England and London's
West End.
My wife blows hot and cold.
One week, when things are par-
ticularly obnoxious around
here, she's fairly keen. She sees
a snug cottage,ivith vines and a
cozy fireplace, shining brass,
and an English garden out
back. She envisages a jaunt
In Jolly England
into London every week end,
for piano lessons, concerts,
lunch, and the theatre.
The next week, She's been
talking to someone who has
SIM spent a weather° and was
half -frozen or 12 months. Or
she says flatty, "If you think
I'm going to leave my comfor-
table home, treasured piano
students, and all my friends, to
go and live in some cold, clam-
my dump among a lot of stran-
gers, etc. etc!'
Sometimes, she wavers, and
asks me what England is really
like. The trouble is, I haven4
been there for over' 20 years.
About all I can do is describe
some first-rate pubs, and tell
her how easy it was to lose
your girl in the fog or blackout,
unless you clung to, her. Some-
how, these descriptive gems
don't fan her ardor for the trip.
As I said, no one in his right.
mind wants to spend a year in
the U.K. I know I'll come home
either riddled with rheumaa
tism, or in a wooden box with a
sheen of fog on it.
And it isn't sentiment. Ad-
mittedly, there are a few old
pubs I'd like to re -visit. But
theSeve probably changed into
raucous road -houses that serve
martinis instead of half-and-
half, and the waitresses ake, in-
solent pups. Instead of buxom
barmaids whO called you
"Luv", or "Ducks!'
And there are a few old girl-
friends I'd like to re -visit. But i
friend of mine did this last
year, taking his wife along.
Somehow, .he said, there was a
lack of rapport. And they were
all so old. And, even worse,
they thought he was old.
And I sure as heck don't.

them than I ever did,
No, what sparks my desire to
go away for a year is none of
these. It is the thought of
spending the whole of Centen-
nial Year in Canada.
Now, I love this land. But the
idea of an entire year of having
Expo ramined down my throat,
of watching municipalities sol-
emn15*/ snip the ribbon at such
sparkling centennial projects as
the new public lavatories, or
the new parking lot; makes me
want to throw up.
And what better place to do
that than the U.K., where I
must admit I have done it be-
fore, on a number of occasions,
after an evening of warm pints
of bitters.
