    I'm not too far from Swindon and Aldershot so it was probably Oxford.
    To be fair, I actually live in a place called Wallingford but noone has heard of it so I usually say Oxford.

    Koff you.

    It's a smerking jacket, not a dressing gown.
    Me, the 14th Earl of Ponty - here, in a ladies hockey school ... with my reputation - what were they thinking?

    Pilley.
    Donkeys.
    Army trucks.

    Genius.

    Nice one, Bob

    I've been on the front page of Barnsley Chronicle as well :D
    That was 4 years ago during my first trip to Barnsley, there was a big photo of me wearing a silly red&white hat, and a short story too. I felt like a bit of a celebrity for a day. :pff
