Knifecrime Island is now Frosty Prison Island, where none can leave their homes for fear of being glassed in the face and left in a snowdrift. To survive, "‘a large number' of elderly customers are snapping up hardbacks as cheap fuel for their fires and stoves." Yes. ENGLAND GRIPPED BY WIDE-SPREAD BOOK-BURNING FOR SURVIVAL. A good old-fashioned home book-burning party, how deluxe. The Guardian, somewhat offended, suggests alternatives, such as the burning of cow dung. Those liberals just want England's fine pensioners to face our fine American death panels.

That's why Palin is so dense. She burned all her books to keep warm in the Great North.
A propos of nothing: That American Apparrel ad on the home page is just plain saucy!
Her book, BTW, is only like five bucks through WorldNetDaily - that's cheaper than wood, yes?
The one with the berets?
The one with bra and panties! Talk about wood *woof*
Will the ghastly ordeal of Timothy Cavendish NEVER CEASE!?
Telephone Directories? IT'S CALLED A PHONE BOOK.
Considering that even an innocuous term like "fanny pack" means something quite different in Britspeak, I suspect that asking for a "phone book" would get you only derisive titters in return. Or a very unusual and specialized experience.
They'd bring you some sort of coffee table book about phones.
As I often tell my (American) wife, the language you're speaking is called ENGLISH so the way we say things is always correct.
It's a Telephone Directory, and "Information" is called Directory Enquiries.
Yes sir.
Sounds like a load of codswollop to me. These little old ladies can barely carry their oven ready-meals home from Marks & Spencers, never mind haul a cord of Cartlands.
Yeah, more likely you'd burn the phone books that pile up, seems like a new one every week with all the yellow page companies fighting over that dying horse.
