In the 1920's and '30's, a group of performers called Tommy and the Jolly Tars performed regularly on the beach at Cleveleys, Lancashire. Inclement weather sometimes destroyed their scenery and piano.
The star was Tommy McGrath, who used to shout to the crowd, "Are we all here?" They apparently used to roar back, "Yes, we are".
What? I mean, what?
I can make no sense of such behaviour, but it makes the Fast Show's "Where's Me Washboard" seem normal.
If people look back on some of the stuff I have come out with in 80 years time, they might be equally baffled.
