I've never heard that before.How to age us all this...
But sparked by, for some reason, it flipping into my head that a common joke at primary school for us was:
How many people can you fit in a Mini?
Five, two in the front, two in the back, and Indira Gandhi in the ashtray.
My, it's a classic(!) but who else am I going to tell it to, nearly 40 years later?!?
So what was going round in your schooldays...?
Does anyone remember when Blue Peter decided to highlight disabled people and featured Joey Deacon in his wheelchair trying to do things? Anybody at school struggling to do anything was instantly called Joey.
for those wondering- they found his Head and Shoulders on the beachI've never heard that before.
The Lord Mountbatten dandruff one was the top favourite at our school back in my day
Yeah this was my first thought, unfortunately.An awful lot of anti Indian/Pakistani “jokes” I won’t repeat, sadly.
I heard this story from a work colleague just a couple of weeks ago. I think i had stopped watching Blue Peter (and left school) by then - probably because Sarah Greene wasn't on it anymore!Does anyone remember when Blue Peter decided to highlight disabled people and featured Joey Deacon in his wheelchair trying to do things?
