More trans-oceanic than trans-atlantic:

Ros, a Tasmanian girl who was working as a temp in the BBC in the 60s, called across the office to me, "Can you pass me the Durex?"

So I passed her the Sellotape and then the other girls took her on one side and explained...

How she blushed. How we laughed. Wherever you are, Ros, I drink to you!
