Boadicea's Chariot 
To a driving instructor he met during a stroll in Oban, Scotland: “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them past the test?”
Or most recently in Edinburgh, during the Papal visit, on spotting everyone wearing the papal tartan scarf or tie, except Annabel Goldie: “Do you have knickers made out of it?”
At almost 90, he remains a beacon of the anti-PC Brigade, and long may he continue to speak his mind…
Agreed!
CWJ – Brilliant! Stroll on, Phil the Greek, and tell it like it is!

“Look at that bloody wall, looks like it was built by Indians!”
Long live Phil the Bubble he’s a national treasure.

What amuses me is that he is generally so right on the button, just says what everyone else is thinking!
Amen, Christina.
