Listener 4152: Inn Joke by Mr Lemon
54 Answers
I don't get it! (the joke that is)
I am glad it was easy this week compared to last week, but I am not impressed.
The title, the rejoinder, the connection between the quotation? I suppose none of it matters to complete it. A shame there's no PDM (for me anyway)

I wasn't going to do this week's, as I was away for a long weekend with all the family, celebrating a significant birthday. However, encouraged by all the comments I have rattled it off (by my standards anyway). Might I even have made the Friday club given a free Friday evening?

Clamzy - I ordered it on Amazon and then got a message to say that there was a delay in their supply and they didn't know when they would be getting it. Don't know if it's available in bookshops yet. No rush, because there's always at least a year's delay before a new edition starts to appear in the published Listeners.
