Pity his bike was a bit gutless!

I remember these flares when I was younger, marking out the road junctions in smog ...... the last time I remember seeing any was about 1962 when I was still at college

the biggest disadvantage of age .... is that you can't outgrow it

I like his obvious enthusiasm, and the way he behaves so naturally and off the cuff.

Scribbling figures on his hand cos he can't remember them, rather than trying to look good.

There's not many tv people these days who'd have a go at half of the stuff he gets stuck into.

I'm still gob smacked at the size of that container dock. 1200 square miles was it, compared to 13 square miles at Felixstowe.

Good to have something worth watching on the idiot lamp.
