I’ve been watching the classic TV adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Poirot of late and it’s pretty good. The one with David Suchet as the inimitable egg-shaped Belgian and his sidekick, the predictable and dull Hastings. With the redoubtable Japp and the efficient Miss Lemon figuring in every episode as well, the series is simply a marvel.
Anyhow, in the episode “How Does Your Garden Grow?”, a Russian aristocrat is seen passing this note to a Russian in the employ of the Soviet Embassy.
After doubling up with laughter, we tried to guess what the letters stood for.
World Trade Fair?
Western Tournament of Flowers? (It’s for a flower show, after all)
Wednesday Through Friday? (This seems the most promising, albeit the most prosaic)
Your guess is as good as mine.
