Yeah, I'm a bastard, me. But dry those tears - you are doing your best, and that's all we can ask for.

"I Look down on him because he is upper class"

Has anyone else got any of Ronnie's wonderful books of picture postcards and assorted other Victorian and Edwardian illustrated smut?

I think I've managed to get them all, and they're fascinating collections of humour with a real focus on the kind of mainstream, working class-appeal, slightly naughty comedy sensibility that underpins the most enduringly popular comedy to this day. Really interesting historical insights.
