'It's Still a Small World, Old Top,' English Brides Discover at K.U.
By ALVERTA NIEDENS (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
They lived in the same borough. They knew the same people. They'd even dated the same boy. But two English brides had never met until they both came to live at Sunflower Village.
Mrs. Audrey Bradley and Mrs. Cynthia Rose got together for a typical English tea on the Rose's second wedding anniversary with the husbands taking a back seat while the wives chatted of Kettering, Northhamptonshire.
"It's only about a five-minute walk between our homes in Kettering, and here it is just four lanes over." the brides explained.
Mrs. Bradley arrived in Kansas a week ago today. Aubrey Bradley, her K.U. veteran husband, said, "I wondered about cleaning up the apartment, and whether she'd recognize me."
Audrey, in turn commented, "An army lefanant--you call it lieutenant—met me at the depot. 'Mrs. Bradley?' he said. I looked up at him and though, 'This man doesn't look much like my husband.'"
"I was very pleased," she said, speaking of her new home. "Of course I couldn't say otherwise. 4,500 miles is a long way."
Every bride was given a cook book on board ship. "But the names of the recipes were all different. Why, the cook book Brad has here only has one tart recipe. I got so disgusted with the bread they served on the ship, that I threw that cook book out of the port hole."
Mrs. Bradley was seasick for eight out of the 14 days she was on the Atlantic.
"I instead of bringing me something nice to eat like bread and butter, the first food they served me was a chop with suet on it that thick!" she said indicating three inches. "I hadn't seen a chop in five years. I was so seasick, I couldn't be home-sick." It has been seven years since she'd seen a banana.
"Everyone expects me to have an Oxford or a Cockney accent," she said, imitating both, "but I have neither. Northhamptonshire was voted as using the King's English this last year."
Audrey hummed "Personality" while she went about fixing tea. "I don't like these little bags; it's so lazy," she said. "I see I'm going to need a larger teapot, too."
Mentioning movies, she said, "You should see 'The Seventh Veil.' It is so British. How I loved Joseph Cotten in 'Love Letters.' So very English, the countryside, but the accent!" She grimaced, "The way he slapped the other officer on the shoulder, you'd never see a British officer do that."
"This American money, it’s awful. I go into a shop and ask the price of something. The clerk says it is $4.95, and then I stand there and figure it out in English money. But the clerks are more helpful over here. They are very reserved in England. It’s much easier to travel to England from America, because everyone is much more friendly here."
"Aren't they long roads?" she commented looking at the highway. "Ours are all corners."
Pulling up her hose, she asked,
“Aren’t ladders disgusting? I know you call them runners.” She also confided that she had a pair of

Both brides agreed that the Americans embarrassed them—especially in the fish and chip shops.
"Fish and chip shops are like your hamburger stands. Only they sell cooked fish and chips (sostring potatoes). And the Americans would go down the street holding a fish in their mouth eating first one and the other. That isn't done in England," they explained.

"But how do you expect them to grow when you dig the ground with a pen knife?" she admonished her husband.
