Factoid Fred and the Post Editor: Unrecognised Comedy Team

A sea mine.

The conversation went like this:

Paige: Mine how you go.

Editor: What the heck is that thing?

Paige: A sea mine. Watch a few British films of World War Two, where ships are ploughing through the waves and the cry goes up 'mine!' (no, yours!)

Editor: Ah, thanks! For some reason, British WW2 films aren't high on my list of entertainment.

Paige: Spiffing, old chap, what?

You won't get any more history from us today.
