Keith dislikes English cigarettes (and the cars are too small)

Letter from Keith to his mom,  June 19, 1944.
'I received the chocolates yesterday & they were good the cigarettes you enclosed went like wild fire nobody in the [?] would smoke these English cigarettes until mine were gone, boy what a country this is, but you can’t argue with an Englishman, they think its OK & that’s all there is to it, they think (at least some of them) that Canada is still way behind the times so I [?] & told one [?] last night that they hadn’t better bring any of their blooming cars over to Canada or the people are liable to think they are for the kids to play with they're about half the size of ours.'
