In fact it's such a good line I really do hope that I hear a siren today and can use it on someone. (naturally I hope where ever the sirens rushing to everyones ok!)
and it still makes me laugh even though I have heard it (in fact used it many times) the man was a comedy genius and along with Ernie will never be surpassed
One of the 'Carry-On' films was playing the other day, and I kinda forgot (or never appreciated) how that flippant easy humour was.
Now I'm thinking that those comedies were really the best - a 'golden era' if you will.
