It wouldn't surprise me mate , it has been known.

RIP Sar Major...........The Ol Dart is not what it use to be, not like your good old days.

The Days when Poofs were Poofs, Arabs, nignogs, Pakis, and currie munchers were few and far between.

This is the English that I remember, before the PC culture destroyed the Ordinary Brit.

One day I must visit it, before its all gone!!

It made me angry to hear this show is no longer allowed on Brit television and is only on Youtube due to the snowflake culture here
