At first I thought this was "Roger Whittaker in Hell" which doesn't sound right; surely such a nice guy who whistles and wears cardigans couldn't go to hell, unless God has a wicked sense of humour?

But in the Dalesman's Litany isn't there a line "From Hull and Halifax and Hell, Good Lord deliver me"; hence Hull and Hell are obviously not too far apart. If anyone from Hull claims that "No, Hull is actually Heaven", then this presumably means that Halifax is purgatory.

As Mike Harding used to say: "When I was a young (Catholic) kid the priests used to say: "Do you reject the Devil and all his Works?" so often that I started to imagine that the devil had a whole lot of big smoky factories where he used to inflict horrible torments on people. Then I grew up and started to work in real factories and realised that this was all more or less true."

Another religious joke:

Bishop to young Catholic Boy during confirmation ceremony: "Can you tell me what Holy Matrimony is?"
Boy: "It is a place of prolonged but temporary suffering where sinners are purified for eternal life in heaven."
Priest: "You little fool, that's the answer for Purgatory."
Bishop: "Hush, Father, for all we know the boy may be right."

Actually I grew up on hairy bearded protest singers like Roger Whittaker, Rolf Harris, Nana Mouskouri, etc. Remember hard-hitting protest songs like "Tie me Kangaroo Down, Sport" and "Have you got a Light, Boy" with their outspoken attacks on animal cruelty and the tobacco industry?
