"Stone me, it's a ragin' fury," was,the Captain's batman's remark when he charged single-handedly into the Nips or Squareheads. The Valiant, The Hotspur, The Tiger, Hurricane...
I think I still have an annual in a press upstairs, where the Captain is charging at an enemy gun nest, and some shocked foreign ally says, "Aieeee! What will happen to the Sahib?", and Maggot's response is, "You mean what'll happen to the Nips?"
Changed days though. Even Skid Solo's Jock mechanic Sandy's "Och, great steamin lumps o haggis!" when Skid or the car ****ed up didn't bother us, and it wouldn't now, but standards are different now, thankfully.
