From Alan Bennett's 'Writing Home'...

Bennett recounts a story told to him by George Melly. Melly was coming back to London from a gig up north and got lost somewhere in Yorkshire. Anxious to get back on his chosen route, he flags down a passing car.

"Excuse me sir," he asks the motorist who's pulled over for him, "do you know the Bradford turn-off?"

"Know her? I bloody *married* her..."

  1. That's a cracker Robert!

    PS Why do you keep disappearing - are you doing short stretches at Her Majesty's?

  2. Not so much short stretches as highly contorted lunges, Rog.

    Still, if it amuses her Maj, then who am I to argue??
