Famous quotes containing the words aldershot and/or parliament:

    Miss J. Hunter Dunn, Miss J. Hunter Dunn,
    Furnish’d and burnish’d by Aldershot sun,
    What strenuous singles we played after tea,
    We in the tournament—you against me!
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    He felt that it would be dull times in Dublin, when they should have no usurping government to abuse, no Saxon Parliament to upbraid, no English laws to ridicule, and no Established Church to curse.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
