The celeb death toll rolls on. RIP Barry Cryer who penned many of the gags for over a generation of British comedy greats Inc The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise, Les Dawson and Jasper Carrott. has died at 86. Getting to be fewer and fewer of celebs of my youth so know I must be getting old🙄

Saw him give an after dinner speech and he was hilarious.

Apparently he told the following joke to a nurse shortly before he died in hospital
-----

A man and his wife are out walking one day when they spot a lone fellow on the other side of the road.

“That looks like the Archbishop of Canterbury over there,” says the woman. “Go and see if it is.”

The husband crosses the road and asks the man if he is indeed the Archbishop of Canterbury.

“F— off,” says the man.

The husband crosses back to his wife, who asks, “What did he say? Is he the Archbishop of Canterbury?”

“He told me to f— off,” says the husband.

“Oh no,” replies the wife, “Now we’ll never know.”

Very sad, one of the best.

If you haven't tried it check out "you'll have had your tea?", the Adventures of Hamish and Dougal. I found it on You Tube, Radio 4 comedy, Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden, just 15 mins an episode. Hilarious, crude ***ual innuendo from start to finish.

Apparently nearing the end he said that he doesn't buy green bananas anymore!
