Can't remember if it was Charlie Chester or Charlie Drake that my Mum said we were distantly related to. Probably Drake as I'm a drag arse like him!

It was the faces he used to pull Dave used to make me laugh, pity he's gone with a lot of others of the same ilk, unfortunately his humour along with Benny Hill etc would not be appreciated by this modern society. Bloody shame really, the destruction of the British sense of humour, the ability to laugh at our own shortcomings!

It's not getting any better Jim, they have made a complete bollocks of this land of ours. This business off illegal immigrants one in one out is a complete farce mate.the latest one they deported was back in on the next boat. You couldn't make it up. It's like a carry on film but not funny!
