I wish you’d ask me about my music. I’m a composer. People always ask me about the sheds, they’ve got it out of proportion, I’m fed up with the shed, I wish I’d never got it in the first place.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson of ‘Ivy Cottage’, Worplesdon Road, Hull, chose a very cunning way of not being seen. When we called at their house, we found that they had gone away on two weeks holiday.

No, no, no - it’s spelt Raymond Luxury Yach-t, but it’s pronounced ‘Throatwobbler Mangrove’.
A spanking! A spanking!
