That was the days comedians actually told jokes, now it's all this recycled observational stuff.

Settle down now.

I think he died in his early fifties.

i'm pretty sure he didn't, was much older

He was 78.

sorry! Wrong comedian. According to wikipedia Ken Goodwin died aged 78.

I thought he was to bloke who appeared on the Wheel Tappers and Shunters Club and rang a bell.

that was the legend Colin Crompton

I watched the first one on that link spelling', he was very funny back in the day and could still raise a few laughs now.

"Can we 'ave a bit of order?"

It has been brought to the attention of the committee that people on chit chat are getting Colin Crompton and Ken Goodwin mixed up.

very good

My Dad loved The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club.
