A cousin of a friend of mine was a pilot and as Tommy Cooper was leaving the plane he stuffed something into the pilots breast pocket saying, "Have a drink on me!" When TC had gone he put his hand in and found a tea bag!

Absolutely brilliant, thanks for those Lynda - I'm old enough to remember Tommy Cooper and I'm laughing as I imagine him saying the jokes! Mandy :)

My hubby Pat used to run a cab firm in London, he had to drive Tommy Cooper, Pat nearly crashed the car he was laughing so much. Tommy Cooper was one of Pat's favourites he didn't have to speak and Pat would be on the floor in tears. Rebecca

I agree Ann - but not just wth the adverts - even some of the TV programmes are better than some of the new ones. Love Tracy
