A great singer who helped the allies win the war. I had no idea she was still alive!
If the manager saw her he would invite her into his office and offer her tea while someone attended to her needs. She always declined - preferred to wait her turn like everyone else.
Hate to say it, but at the current rate of assault, England will soon be named Islamengland.
Coming soon to a country near you!
“White Cliffs of Dover” makes me tear up every time.
My dad was flying missions over Germany, his sweetheart waiting stateside for “tomorrow when the world is free.”
Her songs brought hope.

We’ll Meet Again - Vera Lynn
“...that we would meet again, some sunny day...”
You were lucky to have met Vera Lynn.
My fav,”When I Grow too Old to Dream” :

Spitfires in flight
Pink Floyd reference, yes?
Soon, I will be setting controls for the heart of the pun....
Believe it or not, "We'll Meet Again" is also a football song. In 2009, I attended a few UCLA home games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. They would play the 1939 version of "We'll Meet Again" over the PA system at the conclusion of each game.

There will always be an England, but it might move to Australia.
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do ?
Yeah... post 18 has full lyrics.
Funny this is I’ve been a huge Pink Floyd fan, and never knew Vera was a real person. I thought she was an old girlfriend of Pink’s.
(For those not so much into Pink Floyd, there is no real person named Pink Floyd, as mockingly noted in the lyric, “by the way which one’s Pink?” However, after writing that lyric, they created a fictional character for ‘The Wall,’ based in large parts on former band leader Syd Barrett, who went nuts like Pink, albeit with Roger Waters filling the character with several of his own issues.)
“There will always be an England - But they’ll be driving Volkswagons!” - Danny Kaye, doing a Hitler imitation in a WW II comedy.
