yes Ramsey is very irritating. he works the same formula to death. the late Keith Floyd said, yes - hes quite good, as a pastry chef....

One lovely memory i had of Leyland....they'd flogged all these buses to Castro, over in Cuba. And LEyland was REALLY shit when it came to sending people spare parts - i had a request from one bloke in south africa who had been waiting seven years for a bit for his dumper truck.

anyway it wasn't long before the Cubans started phoning up - wanting bits and pieces for their buses. trouble is, they couldn't speak English - and we couldn't speak Spanish.

Finally they got this posh bloke to answer the phone - they gave him the job because his parents had a villa in Marbella - an uncommon thingin 1970. it transpires that his Spanish is real Leonard Rossiter stuff- uno bianco Senor! the phone calls continued.....
