Re: Old rhyme

I remember Charlie Chester on the radio saying that. Go on then, let's hear it, "Who was Charlie Chester then?".

Re: Old rhyme

We used to say:-

'Down in the jungle, living in a tent
Want to go t'toilet.
(Then you made a raspberry noise) .. too late'

How silly and childish it was ... but G-C considered quite rude then, wasn't it ? and used to make us giggle behind cupped hands..

Charlie Chester was a comedian who was very popular in the 40s and 50s. He had his own radio show for a long time.

Re: Old rhyme

This is a rhyme that my grannie used to tell us kids to make us laugh.
Not last night but the night before
Three tom cats came knocking at the door
One had a trumpet, one had a drum
and one had a pancake stuck to its bum
