I have the sword
worn by one of my antecedents to the coronation of George V. My father aoplogised to me when he gave it to me, because the blade is a little bent - from beating his younger brother round the head with it, he said.

I feel that if I ever met you
I should tug my forelock.

Except I don't have one. Will a curtsey do?

You sound posh Monty.
Will you knight me? Not in a shirty way obviously.

The poshness has rather fizzled out, unfortunately.
My father was born into a minor stately home in the Scottish borders with servants etc, and his mother's family used to co-own Pringle - but all that has translated into precisely fuck all in real terms.

Did you get free Pringles then?
That would have been WIN.

You protest too much
I knew you were part of the light entertainment hierarchy.

I'm not!
Ask Barry Cryer.

I did find it amusing that Alan Partridge's 'peephole Pringle' was part of my family's legacy, I must admit.

I did think that
but I've decided not to elicit sordidness for a whole hour
