 WELLS, SIR THOMAS S. - LoveToKnow Article on WELLS, SIR THOMAS S.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)

Wellston is served by the Baltimore and Ohio South-western, the Hocking Valley, the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, and the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton railways, and is connected by an electric line with Jackson (pop.inf9lo, 5468), thecounty-seat,about lom.

Norman Wisdom is an exceedingly nice person and his "fraîcheur de vivre" is clearly evident in these, his early works.
Humour is obviously a very subjective thing and today's audience, or part of them at least, supposedly sophisticated, but in reality cynical,bitter, lost and searching for a meaning and a direction to their life will no doubt tax Norman Wisdom as pathetic, silly, childish, heavy-handed, over the top.......the terms abound nowadays !
