English Humour. Do You Listen To Bbc4's Today Programme?

[rccatnap]

Right at the end of a programme recently, there was a discussion about the cost of entry into Premiership football matches where ticket prices of £60 or £100 per game is not uncommon.

An elderly chap being interviewed said he could recall many years ago arriving at the turnstiles when the attendant greeted him with: "That will be ten quid, mate".
"What?!" the old chap said, "I could get a woman for that!"
Without batting an eyelid, the fellow on the turnstile retorted, "Not for 45 minutes each way with a brass band and a meat pie in the interval, you wouldn't!”
