Excerpt from Oddly Enough The crowd, sprinkled here and there with callow looking youths of the technical college type, were mostly decent workmen in their best clothes, whi1e very occasionally one noticed a middle-aged business man greet a friend with the self-conscious, half ashamed air of Britons on such occasions, remarking, What's brought you here?
