And that's Nancy!
When my bro and I were nippers we had comics delivered every week, which our Ma'd kindly read to us.

She'd sit in the armchair and we'd stand either side and she'd read both comics aloud.

When she'd finished we'd be dismissed while she read the Daily Mirror in peace.

However, one day, for some reason, we stayed hanging around afterwards looking at the newspaper with her.

I suddenly remembered that she'd been pointing out family members on photos the day before and mimicked her, pointing to a picture of a woman and saying 'And THAT's Nancy!'

Bro quickly pointed out another and also said 'And THAT's Nancy!'

So we carried on the whole time she read that newspaper, pointing out women, men, raceshorses, whatever, and saying 'And THAT's Nancy!' until she was in hysterics with laughter and frustration and we were in real danger of a good old 1966 slippering.

After that, during comic-time, we used to egg each other on to point and say 'That's Nancy!', even though we knew our mother would then refuse to read any more.

Any picture of a woman in the comics would have us giggling and discreetly pointing over Ma's head, mouthing the words.

God it was funny. Wish I was 8 again!

I think it may be because I'm a bit hung over
but this has just reduced me to tears laughing. I can totally see how irritating it must have been for her, yet how much funnier it must have got with each repetition.

have a click for that.

Hahaha, thank you!
This was over 40 years ago and yet I'm rucked up laughing myself at the memory.

I MUST text the words 'and THAT's Nancy!' to my brother right away. If he's driving it could be tricky.

Hot lesbo action
A colleague of mine did something similar with the staff magazine once by pointing at a picture of a group of people where two women were smiling at each other and saying "hot lesbo action".

The phrase kind of stuck and it (or variations of it) gets used in all sorts of inappropriate situations.
