And if you’re thinking, didn’t I hear that very same joke on the Des O’Connor Show in about 1987, you’re not the only one.
Oh god I'm going to be that person: isn't this a Stan Boardman joke?

The Douglas Bader Foundation have reported it as fact in the past. And yes, you are being that person 😉 https://t.co/enfjGQ0034
