[Harry J Allstars]

Ahh the Michael Fish classic.

[gnfcmightymole]

[FleetFanatic]

Liar! They never said that there wasn't a hurricane (after the event) - they said that there wouldn't be one (before the event.)

 

Also, I seem to recall we had only a day or two off school, dear brother.....

[gnfcmightymole]

[Woody SUFC]

England CANNOT get Hurricanes i was told. Just get Storms of some sort or the other

[The Invisible Man]

We had lots in the Battle of Britain.

[American FLEET FAN No1]

More than Spitfires..........But not according to the German pilots who were shot down!

[Big J R]

Don't forget the Fokkers !!!!

[Barry Scott]

I loved that beermat for Spitfire Ale, "downed all over Kent.... just like the Luftwaffe"

[The Invisible Man]

Now then BJR, you know I don't like to quibble, but Fokkers were used by the Germans in the First World War. Fokker himslef (Anthony I believe) was Dutch.

The brewery had to withdraw this line of advertising after a complaint to the Advertising Standards. Apparantly, it might have upset our Germanic friends..


Yes, Invisible - You DO like to quibble. It was still a brilliant Stan Boardman joke, though !

[Barry Scott]

well, ive still got the image somewhere on my hard drive at home

[Big J R]

We had 'Spitfire' beer in our local club at the time, and our beer suppliers came in and removed all the 'ofensive' beer-mats and advertising posters.
