Letter: Gunner Copernicus

Published 14 January 2009

From Andrew Brooker

Copernicus may have expelled us in principle from the centre of the universe (15 November 2008, p 32), but I am reminded of an incident in Spike Milligan’s memoirs of the British army:

Officer (shouting): “You there, what are you doing over there?”

Milligan: “Uh, everybody gotta be somewhere, sir.”
