Ignorance
"A girl who used to work for me believed that saveloys are made from fish because 'you get them from the fish shop'." Says Richard Mcbeef. He goes on to say "I was getting on for 40 before I became aware that medical doctors don't all have doctorates."

They don't do it like that where I'm from.
Had a friend visiting Blighty from the states. Wanting to show her the very best of sights as she was quite a fine looking specimen, I duly treated her to a tour of Leicester's back streets. She was intrigued when she encountered her very first pelican crossing.
She heard the beeps.
"What is that for?"
"Oh that's for blind people. To say when it's crossing time." I explained.
"Blind people?" She replied. "Really? Wow."
"Cor easy to impress, I'm in here", I thought. She was quiet, deep in thought, soaking up the finest scenery of the Kebab Shops, Laundrettes, off-licences and betting shops of the Narborough Road I assumed. Then she said:
"You know, in The States, we don't let blind people drive."

Plenty to choose from
Leicester must have bought a bargain job lot of traffic lights at some point

Is it?
I met a bloke in a wheelchair today, his face was battered and bruised
"What happened to your face?" I asked
"I am a paralympian," he replied
"Boxing?"
"No,hurdles"
