They were of Les Dawson Mother-in-Law joke size. Being a skinny fella myself, I have to treat these other pedestrians as roundabouts at times. I think Jack Dee covered it in reminding people that one whole is a lot bigger than the other one.Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675718054850584293.post-83060514964779118272013-09-30T12:03:25.093+02:002013-09-30T12:03:25.093+02:00"Clacton is to Cockneys what Paris is to dead..."Clacton is to Cockneys what Paris is to dead Americans, but without the art." Still trying to figure out that sentence!<br /><br />We had holidays at Clacton a couple of times when I was a kid -- can't remember much about it but I've always loved the sound of the name. I also recall going on a day trip to Clacton on a coach from the Undercroft in 1970 or 71. You must also have been there?<br /><br />A curious place for your father to fetch up. Hope this isn't too difficult a visit.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675718054850584293.post-26282873222399139712013-09-29T19:47:47.929+02:002013-09-29T19:47:47.929+02:00Jesus, Rob, Clacton's about 35+ miles from me....Jesus, Rob, Clacton's about 35+ miles from me.
