A mainstream comedian on prime time 3-channel TV regularly doing a 'stupid black man' impression that involved animal noises and ridiculous faces. Those were the days! Honestly, people have no sense of humour in this crazy world I tell you. Young people today would have no idea! (except of course on this one they do). pt

" Finders crispy pancakes, beans and chips was a staple for dinner. "

Will it be chips or jacket spuds?

Will it be salad or frozen peas?

Will it be mushrooms?

Fried onion rings?

We'll have to wait and see...

Hope it's chips it's chips, we hope it's chips it's chips...
