Letter: Fog in Channel, humour reinstated for a bit (2)

Published 10 April 2019

From Gordon Cummings, Linton, Cambridgeshire, UK

Webb mentions the headline “Fog in Channel: Continent Cut Off”. It isn’t just apocryphal, but one of the great misquotations. “Fog in Channel: Continent Isolated” appeared in a cartoon by Russell Brockbank in Round the Bend with Brockbank in 1948.
