mr. ah great is it right to hold our

dinner here I'll tell you one thing for

sure I've never seen a courtroom put to

better use

oh come miss Robert you're a magistrate

now but I thought you have more respect

for the law respect for the law

most law is futile and sometimes

mischievous as for being a magistrate

the chief use people put me to is to

sign the necessary forms for pawn

tickets they blossom had an old woman

come to my office this morning asked her

why it was they were always losing their

pawn tickets I told her I said I've

never lost mine well that was funny

wanted of course it was take me further

gentlemen pray silent place for your

president mr. Josh curtain tea

[Applause]

as you may be aware tonight we find

ourselves in competition for the

interest and attention of the population

some sort it was a bit of a shame that

those people known as the powers-that-be

should decide to old a by-election on

the very day following an event like

this was a shame some of us thought he'd

come cheap that sort of made an average

it was none of us feel responsible for

what comes from their mention the word

politics tonight nor nor tell you where

my sympathies tell you I'll give faults

I wouldn't dream of it can I keep my

mouth shut

[Music]

nearly all the cream of Bursley here

the country's finished if that labor man

gives you all the power daughter then

there'll be a parliament for a street

corner rabble

I'm proud to be British I'm too proud to

say going on like that what about

trusting to the people well if trusting

to the people means being under the

thumb of the British working memory you

can scratch me out for once I've always

found him pretty decent

how many young do you employ mr. clay I

mean do you I wish I could make as much

money as you do out there 14 hours I've

got two hundred at my place and I know

I've known him for 40 years and more and

there's not ten of them as I trust to do

an honest day's work and their own
