Humour Blaster Bates.

Just found some of his stuff on YouTube. Language isn't really forum friendly, so don't follow the links if you're easily offended.

For those coming across him the first time, this was one of our hero's when we were kids. Funny stories, rough language and full of laughs. We'd sit around the gramophone, hoping mum and dad wouldn't hear what we were listening to. Would have been instant confiscation, not good when it was a friend's lp.

He really was a demolition guy who probably made as much from his entertaining as he did from demolition. @jbtsax, sorry, the accent is strong and there are probably quite a few words you've not heard before.

And this was my favourite, again strong language:

I will confess to loving this sort of storytelling immensely, thanks for introducing me to this. I hope they pass muster, but just in case they don't i've kept the links offline

I still have 4 or 5 of his LP's.
My favourite story is "The Naming Of Knicker Brook".

That is a blast from the past, I saw him at Southport Floral Hall sometime in the mid 70s.
