I too was insulted regularly as a young cricketer. ' You useless long blond streak of pi55'. I want to make a stand on behalf of long blond streaks of pi55 everywhere.
My auntie use to call everyone a berk.. now her being a good Catholic girl never swore and thought berk was fine. I later found out that berk is actully cockney rhyming slang for... Berkshire Hunt..
