Bill Kerr

Here for four minutes

Sir, Fresh off the boat in 1953, I met many amiable inquiries from Londoners learning of my Australian background: “I suppose you’re only here for four minutes”.

Never having heard Bill Kerr’s radio act (obituary, Aug 30), I was baffled until someone kindly explained the reasoning. Incidentally, 61 years later, I am still here.
