“God bless America, they’ve given us Britney Spears, sodium
dependency and the ability to creep up on each other from behind!”
wails George, hapless second in command to his New York Jewish boss
who aims to make a success out of the failing English Language School
which she “won fair and square in a poker game”. To George’s
horror the Regency house is rapidly Americanised in preparation for
a grand re-opening in the presence of a very Royal visitor- and several
corgis. "Listed schmisted, we need colour, lights, technology,
showers!"

One Last Card Trick
by Stewart Permutt

In the basement of a poorly attended West End synagogue three elderly

whispers the synagogue is going to be sold to a local businessman.
But not just any businessman, a strip club owner!
