Err sorry Brian. But you should know by now I'm full of duplicious
trickery.

This particular test card was in fact a very nice picture of a happy
healthy
baby boy, on what looks like a bed cover with a test card design.

I assume it's Bill's grandson.


It is indeed. It's Ben, 22weeks old. He's very big for his age. When
I'm 80 he'll be 20, and we're going to set up Bill and Ben's Aerials.
I'll do the climbing and he'll beat the customers up if they don't
pay.

Bill

LOL.

Bill and Ben, the chimney-pot men.

I think I have read that book - an engrossing tome. If I recall
correctly, it was the Zebra who had the last say.

One of our suppliers has a similar thing as a clock on their office wall:-

I assumed it also came from Bill's supplier, but it doesn't seem to ?

I'll try and find out where it came from.

Thanks Bill!

It's £8.95 plus £3.95 P & P. Just a tad too much. I'll wait fro their
sale

Dare we ask who you are going to employ as Little Weed?


It's obvious... little Jimmy, AKA the Runt.


According to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/pointsw...nthelife.shtml

this is what Paul Ratface looks like:

He's the man in the red shirt - ironically the "runt" of the three and, imho,
the ugliest too.

I'm *way* better looking than he is, basically.
