That’s a funny story. And the fella’s back story is interesting – he lost both legs in the 1930s and still went back flying in WW2.
One would want to be very insecure about one’s own nationality to make a thing about this.

First told on the Des O’Connor show. Who ?
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
Awwwwww. Des is (was?) an awful eejit but I like(d?) him.
Don’t mind the Brother, the real Des is still alive and well with a young wife and an old tan. Bob Monkhouse however, is dead.

Thanks for bringing me up, then throwing me straight back down again.

To his dying day, whenever the subject came up my mother berated my Dad for not letting Bader win a game of darts they played at the Royal British Legion club in Dublin in the 1950s
