Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

in New York, and after a lot of trouble and much delay,
managed to obtain first a visa and then a work permit for
England.
At last a replacement for me was obtained, and I stayed
two weeks to "show him the ropes", then I left. America
is perhaps unique in that a person who knows how, can
travel almost anywhere free. I looked at various newspapers
until I saw, under "Transportation", the following:
"California, Seattle, Boston, New York.
Gas free, Call 000000 XXX Auto Drive-away."
Firms in America want cars delivered all over the con-
tinent. Many drivers want to travel, so a good and cheap
method is for the would-be driver to get in touch with
the auto delivery firm. On passing a simple driving test
one is then given gas (petrol) vouchers for certain selected
filling stations on the route.
I called on the XXX Auto Drive-away and said I wanted
to drive a car to Seattle. "No difficulty at all, at all," said
the man with the Irish brogue. "I am looking for a good
driver to take a Lincoln there. Drive me round, let's see
how you shape." As I drove him round he told me of
various useful matters. He seemed to have taken quite a
liking to me, then he said, "I recognized your voice, you
were an Announcer." This I confirmed. He said, "I have
a short-wave radio which I use to keep in touch with the
0ld Country. Something wrong with it, it won't get the
short waves any more. The local men do not understand
this type of radio, do you?"
I assured him that I would have a look at it and he
invited me to his home that evening, even lending me a
car with which to get there. His Irish wife was except
