EGG LIKE A BIRD’S EGG

I wonder how many of my readers will get that joke?

Well, this one does, certainly.

Well, I didn’t.

I’ve just read the text. Aunt ‘Et’s mash sounds almost as revolting as her fried eggs.

It’s an old Lee and Herring joke, Martin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYrlUC4JLI

And yes, I can’t say egg with mash sounds delicious, especially as it sounds like the mash hangs about in the oven for a while. Raw eggs have rather gone out of fashion since the salmonella scare, too.

Eggs on mash was a classic lunchtime anack about 1961. We sometimes used to have it for a mid day meal while sat, in The North, doing something daring with our lunch – like tuning in to the Midland Home Service. My mother thought we were being daringly impertinent by doing this – as if it were a private thing for Midland listeners only and we, as Northerners, were eavesdropping. They joys of Medium Wave Radio..
