Well...yes....but not in the way you imagine,Sweet Lady.
For,y'see,here on Puggy Island [no,
not it's real name,gumboil. #sigh]
there has been a strange phenomenonemonthingy called ''scientific & mechanical progress''. Y'see,here in the 20th century,as we make plans for the forthcoming Millenium Party,we have things which those living in ''Ooh-arr''shire would find it hard to even imagine. Yes,we have advanced technology of the latest/greatest here,such as tv,a radio without a dial that
works by pressing buttons,CB radio....and even vans & cars so advanced in technology they need a mere THREE wheels! [yes,gummy,you guessed. The Reliant Regal,as seen in 'Only Fools And Horses] That van,the absolute last word in amazingly efficient,up-to-date technology and engineering is actually in use,here on Puggy island! In fact,there is even conjecture that it may soon be possible to send a manned flight to the Moon! So don't think for one moment that you lot down there in Dorrrrrsetshoire,growing acres of tins for tomatoes and pretending one should put the cream on BEFORE the jam,when eating a scone [oh,you HEATHENS!] are more advanced than us,because WE even have telephone boxes just across the causeway on the mainland,that,for tuppence,will allow a person to ring ANYWHERE! [well,you have to press 'button A' when they answer,but that's fine,because if they DON'T answer,pressing button B gives you your money back! Eh? How good is THAT!?!?!
Ohhh,yes - here in the epicentre of advanced 20th Century technology,we're even being told we may soon have
colour tv!!!!
HA! SUFFER,Dorrrrsetshoire!
