14. Two come to mind... both from The Times. On our trips, Joyce and I would read The Times each morning

Jan 2022

to start our day.


1. from an article about a Boy Scouts Jamboree taking place in London, 5,000 scouts expected. "Hordes of the blighters will descend in our city."


2. Ministry of health suggested Brits add more fish to their diets. Article quoted people against the nanny state. One guy interviewed, "I don't mind fish. I had Halibut once."


And of course, I saw Peter Cook and Dudley Moore on Broadway, June, '71. "I've always wanted to be a judge" skit and "abiding my sheep."

Then, there was the time, flying home from Paris, --- Air France or whatever. We were probably the only gringos on the plane Plane takes off, minutes later, the lights go dim and screen lights up. This was followed by a cheer from probably every passenger.

"MONSIEUR BEAN !!!"

And Benny Hill: Benny and Jackie Wright, dressed in polyester suits at a discotheque. Music is thumping and Benny reaches down to Jackie to pat Jackie on his bald head.

Benny: "As smooth as my wife's bottom."

Jacke: "Yes, I know." Followed by a deep frown on Benny's face.
