Hello there folks.

Last Sunday, my wife and I went to the Hampton Court Garden and Flower Show.

We left the children with my parents, and set off quite early. Unfortunately, not early enough, as not far the other side of the M25 did we hit a queue. In two hours we only went 10 miles, with 1 of those miles taking 25 minutes.

Worst queue I've ever been in.

Anyway, the official car park was full, but we managed to park a short distance away, at a local school that were charging to let you park on their grass. We did that, walked half the way, and, get this - got a boat the rest of the way. Which was cool.

Anyway, we got into the show, and I was handed a Daily Mail bag, including a copy of the Daily Mail. Unfortunately I had to keep hold of it, in order to put all of the leaflets and stuff in.

Which brings me to the point of the story, or punchline, if you will ,though this is a true story and not merely a (bad) joke.

When looking around one of the show gardens, the Christian Aid 'Trading Places' garden I said "I don't see Eddie Murphy anywhere... Or Dan Akroyd".

I do make myself laugh sometimes.

I went to a 50's lookalike convention the other day. I waited many hours until everyone had left then shouted "Elvis has just left the building!"

In fact I lie.

I didn't.

Anyway the trading places gag is a "needed to have been there" one.

I'm glad I wasn't.

(Just jesting matey).

Hmm. Yourself, maybe, but others?
