I can't recall what book it was in, but it made me laugh so much (perhaps it was, "Oldest City - The Story of St. John's") Any way a Newfoundlander in World War 2 was stationed in the the UK and while he was there married a girl and she returned to Newfoundland with him (her first time being out of Britain). When they go to the city apparently they took the street car to the train station to go to some far flung outport where the man was from, and she commented something to the effect, "well I only hope the street car service in "Baytown X" is much better than what St. John's has to offer.. Hahah
