I can see it's affected your avatar:D

it wasn't a joke, at 1st glance I thought it was a picture of an old lady with al murray, then I though it must have been in his younger days when he had hair then I realised the old lady was the celebrity

get your old school blazer out and you could make money on the look-a-like circuit :woot:
 
My favourite was Tommy Cooper, I was duty manager in a big posh Nottingham hotel he stayed in. He didn't like any of the food on the a la carte menu so I had to go out and buy him fish & chips! He was just as barking in real life as he was on stage... especially after a few G&T's (which he was rather fond of).

He did that legendary gag on one of the waiters too... gave him an envelope and said "Have a drink on me". When the waiter opened the envelope it had a tea bag inside!

A legend... RIP!
:notworthy:

That brings back memories. Don Estelle (for it was he) and Windsor Davies did a tour round various record outlets to flog their record - the old Inkspots number 'Whispering Grass'.

I saw them in Woolworths believe it or not. Cannot remember which Woolies it was though.
