Just the punchlines please
Discussion
This is a genuine enquiry
YEARS ago when Noel bloody Edmonds was a reasonable DJ on Saturday BBC Radio, he used quotes as fillers between songs or chat
One such quote was
'There was a dung hill in the middle of the yard'
I thought it was from Blaster Bates set of LP's ( It isn't but it did introduce me to Blasters exploits)
So does anyone recall i, and more importantly, what the whole story was?

I think it was from Round the Horne which was a radio comedy series in the sixties fronted by Kenneth Horne. Very funny and some of it very near the knuckle for the time.
Quite likely, Dicky. There was also "Beyond Our Ken", which was more of that sort of thing. I think it used to.follow on after the Navy Lark on a Sunday at lunchtime. It was on the BBC Light Programme on the wireless.
They wouldn't allow it in today's PC world, that's for certain!
"Hello, I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy... "
You had to be there.

Ok, for the elder PH'ers
Years ago when Noel Edmunds had his Rad 1 Sat show, he used to play snippets between records
One such snippet, was a possible punchline which was
'There was a dung hill in the middle of the yard' ( it was a northern accent)
Now i thought it might be a Blaster Bates story, however having obtined all of his Lp'S ( yep that old) he never said it.
So does anyone know who it was?
