Chicken. When I worked at London Bridge in 1966 one of my colleagues came in
from Weston-super-mare every day.

When I worked in West London, one of the managers used to drive from
somewhere between Telford and Stafford to Hounslow East daily.

I think that beats the worst i knew - when i worked in Cambridge, there
was a guy in the office who commuted from Ruislip.

I did nine months of commuting to Hook daily from one of the villages half-
way between Luton and Hitchin. Fun. Not.

Jesus H Christ, that is a commute and a half.

My former manager (now moved on to other work in the same office)
commutes from Andover to our office just south of Heathrow.

Babelfish has problems at the best of times, but has been totally
defeated by the omision of 5 umlauts. My German grammar is a bit rusty
now, but AFAIK "ihr" and "euch" are the plural familiar forms of "sie"
(you).

Könnt ihr mich hören? = Can you hear me?
Könnt ihr mich sehen? = Can you see me?
Könnt ihr mich fühlen? = Can you feel me?
Ich versteh euch nicht = I do not understand you

I don't understand him either. What's the point of that sig?

I'd assumed it was a poor translation of "Tommy", tbh.
