In short (4)

Norton, where are you when we need you? Remember Art Carney as the New York sewer worker who was the sidekick of bus driver Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) in TV's long-running ''Honeymooners''? We wish he could have been there to greet the lord mayor of Sheffield when 80 guests recently enjoyed a buffet 70 feet down a new sewer in his English city.

We can see Ralph's face now as Norton comes up through the manhole with a canape in each hand and both pinkies curled. As Britons well know, there's such a thing as class.
