Gene Landers is an American author who arrives in Britain with a gun he says is a war souvenir. He later shows the police a permit issued on arrival. Any ordinary foreign citizen coming into
Britain with a firearm would have it confiscated at once.
When Gene Landers is told how to spell "Edinburgh", he replies, "I wish the English would simplify their place names. English, in England, has got its headaches." Edinburgh is, as the capital city of Scotland, not in England: there are no "boroughs" in Scotland.
