Crossing Lights

Crossing Lights.

An old Irishwoman wanted to cross the road at Hyde Park corner but was scared of the traffic.

A policeman came to the rescue, “It's all right,” he assured her. “When you see the red light, that red's for England so don't go. But when you see the green that's for Ireland. You can cross then, and not a thing will touch you.

She crossed on the green light, then waited till it was green again and came back to thank the policeman. “It was very kind of you to explain it so nicely,” she said, “But, glory be, you don't give much time for the Orangeman to get across.”
