Dear Tamsin,
the reference to the "nice arse" is two fold. Pete was renown for saying "nice arse" to Gill (from Gundulf) - also, there was - at least one occasion that I saw, an evening when Pete was performing as Slatery, when, in the middle of a number, a particularly nice lady with a very nice bottom, passed by him - in the middle of a verse, Pete stopped singing and growled into his microphone - " Nice arse!" - and then continued performing as if nothing had happened!! She didn't take offence, we all howled with laughter, and Pete, bless him, carried on to complete the number with a wicked glint in is eye and a slightly mishievious grin!!! I shall miss him SO much. Best wishes to you. Take care.
