Great Story In The Guardian Today !

A few years ago, Prince Charles turned up on a official visit to Scarborough, wearing a fox-fur hat. This was a bit odd because it was the middle of July. Apparently he told his Mother that he was going to Scarborough, and she said "wear the fox hat", so he did !

That joke is so old an archaeologist friend of mine studied it for his thesis.

Mikey,I've been in hysterics! Up in the shower just now and thinking about the fox hat and suddenly it clicked and I couldn't stop giggling. Reminded me of when I was about 14 and had been told a long involved story which I didn't think at all funny till I related it to my very strict dad and half way through saw the funny bit (it involved molasses,which worked out to be ' mole arses', and swallowing my giggles finished the tale, father wasn't amused either but I had to make a hasty exit!

[mikey4444]
