Without looking at the link Bren, I'll pay a penny a foot. Not 3 ha'pence, that's too much.
I do like Stanley Holloway.Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out and start their working lives
At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

Yeah, he's brilliant. Absolute genius.Originally posted by Bren In Pots View PostI like your link better MBE
We've got a CD of his monologues it really makes me laugh, especially Albert and the Lion.

Have you seen any of the Albert monologues sequels that are being written these days.
A local poet writes some of them and he comes to our Poems and Pints night and performs. He's from Oop North too and sounds quite Stanley Hollowayish.
Here's one of his that seems quite appropriate today Albert and the Privy... John Bilsborough

I quite like that. I do have to read it in a Holloway accent though.Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostHave you seen any of the Albert monologues sequels that are being written these days.
