Andy, while you're on can I take advantage of your sartorial expertise?  I'm opening an ebay fashion shop called The Aspiring Immigrant which will seek to offer a classic British look to the Chinese, Russian and Arab investors who now own the country.  What do you reckon?

Andy, just for you.

Those were the days, ridgeway.

Teamwork eh? All the men putting in a shift.

They even got dressed up for the job in hand.

They certainly knew how to shovel it up.

 Andy, indeed those were the days my friend.  I thought they'd never end and we'd sing and dance forever and a day.  Begorrah.

I'm liking the avatar, ridgeway.

Isn't that the late great Jimmy 'Buster' Edwards, the one time teacher and Great Train Robber?

 It is indeed - in a scene from the great series "Whacko!" (couldn't make it today, I fear).  He was definitely stitched up for the GTR though.

Now then, ridgeway are you related to Brian Inglis by any chance?

 I'm impressed.  Here's me sharing a joke with Brian's wife and mom.

Brian's wife looks visibly shocked.

It looks as though you've just recited the limerick about the man from Leeds.

 No, Andy, I've just shown them what's under my hat.
