Respected Policeman retires at last
His retirement will be met with a big sigh of relief from the West Cornish criminal fraternity, who have come to fear him over the years.
Lionel was a most unusual police officer in that he was always accompanied by his ventriloquist's dummy, 'Dorothy'.
Dorothy did much - indeed, frankly all - of the the talking for them both, although, as Dorothy maintains, "You kent never see 'is lips movin'!"
From the age of 14, Lionel and Dorothy have been inseparable. Not only criminals, but also judges, police colleagues - not to mention Lionel's wife, Doris, their three children and the family budgie - have all got used to speaking to Lionel through Dorothy.
When Dorothy has to be handed in for essential repairs, Lionel has been inconsolable and quite silent, apart from a loud sobbing.
This tight union has been recognised and accepted by the grateful Relubbus Police Force. Both Lionel and Dorothy are to receive distinguished service medals at a public meeting to be held at the St John's Hall in Boswedden Lane.
As Dorothy says, "I aren't surprised - we deserve un - but ee's ovver the moon bowtit! Git plumb boy ee is, idna?!"
Undergound Link between New York and Relubbus now almost complete!
As some readers will know, the plans to link up the New York Metro with the Relubbus Underground are well advanced.
The flagging US and New York economies have brought all Americans to pin their hopes for recovery on the coming direct connection to the roaring economic lion that is the Relubbus economy.
Relubbus engineers have designed a special high speed steam train ("The Trevithick") that will run between the two cities at such a fast speed that the crossing is expected to be achieved in less than fifteen minutes.
Says Greater Relubbus Urban Council (GRUC) Chairman, Billy Spargo (114), "They trains are so fast - I kent bleddy bleeve it. 'Owevver, I am 'appy to 'elp out they Yanks. 'Alf o' they are Cornish anyway! I shall gw'ovver fer the pasty supper at th' openin'."
