When I was forced to work for a living I worked for DWP. We used to get queries from people about their 'Infidelity benefit' or advising us that they were 'under a doctor'
funnily enough Andy, Jasper Carrott was interviewed on BBC recently and he's going back to his roots, to an extent - he's promised a modern crop of insurance claim forms. :-)
Max Miller actually said this on the radio:-
I was walking along this narrow mountain pass - so narrow that nobody else could pass you, when I saw a beautiful blonde walking towards me. A beautiful blonde with not a stitch on, yes, not a stitch on, lady. Cor blimey, I didn't know whether to toss myself off or block her passage.
That was the sort of thing that got 'The Cheeky Chappy' banned off the radio pretty quickly!
It's difficult to imagine the impact something like that would have had back then - you couldn't shock people to that degree now. If he were around today, Miller would be packing them in like Frankie Boyle or Chubby Brown.
