I said the same as Bob Cratchet He seemed old when I was a kid. I remember the worker quite well. He used to carry a ladder around quite a lot. And of course when he turned with the ladder on his shoulder everybody had to duck out of the way. Those were the days Black and white TV with slapstick comedy. |

One of the funniest sketches I have ever seen was dear Charlie playing all the instruments in the 1812 Overture. I laughed so much I finished up crying. Thankyou Charlie for the pleasure you gave to millions. Jean x. |
