Explaining Blackpool
I once requested the wine list in Blackpool's 'finest' eaterie, to be told 'the wine this week is red'.
Jasper Gerard.
I'm sure that's a very old joke and entirely unoriginal but so what, eh?

What's your point? 'Ha, ha, Blackpool's shit?'
Tim adds: Err, no, it's a joke by Jasper Garard. I also point out that I'm sure it's a very old one. Just thought it was an amusing joke, that's all.

One of my favourite phrases in the English language is 'Jasper Gerard is away'.

Kingsley Amis used to say that the three most terrifying words in the English language were, "red or white?"
