Our journey home was punctuated with occasional flurries of Radio 4 but the highlight was listening to the last episode of Series 53 (Yes, 53!) of the redoubtable "I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue".
The section parodying "Just A Minute" had me nearly rocking the steering wheel on the A14 and pulling off into a double entendre, so at risk of becoming the blogging equivalent of recycling merchant Keith Chegwin here are a few wordy gems from the show.
"I found recently there are two types of 'elegance'. There's Indian Elegance with smaller ears..."

I was listening to R4 (Test Match Special) on Long Wave. I've probably spent too much time surfing.
Have you read Barry Cryer's Pigs Can Fly? I was in tears.
You avoided the mention of "batter". I am not sure whether to welcome this as a sign that you are getting better, or wondering whether your standards are slipping.
Note to self: Don't read this blog while eating breakfast, you'll only end up with cornflakes and milk on the monitor. Eating and laughing at the same time is never a wise move.
Dave: TMS would have had me off the road with tedium in 3 minutes. Long Wave - I get it!
Geoff: I must look it up. His best joke ever was "Who led the Pedant's Revolt?". Answer "Which Tyler". Man's a National Treasure.
Mrs Trellis: I think it must have gone straight over my head.
Lesley: Ah, that's what you need on a Monday morning! I wonder if this blog should be called "Small Flakes of Corn".
I too endured a trick drive home while listening to this!
Ah, this made my day, especially "warehouse".
Jon: A Trick Drive?
Timorous: That was my favourite!
