Thank you again, Maidup, but I had tried that and had opted for the easier route of AB-I am so vague about it that there may have to be some humble pie eating in the near future!

I think it went more like; "I'm better now, than I was before, when I wasn't as well as I am now", but I don't know who said it. People used to laugh at the most silly things in the war years.

Neither Quassia- have you ever wished you hadn't started something? I did say at the outset that I was vague about the original question.

Are you sure its a British comedian as it sounds just like Jack Benny, or even George Burns. I have looked, googled but nothing comes up. Bob Hope?
