This is one of the best comedy lines I have heard
Spoken by Victoria Wood way back in the 1980s
She plays a nervous woman collecting information in a street survey
"Here's my ID. Yes, I do look rather startled.
It was taken in a photo booth and someone had just poked an éclair through the curtain"
Victoria Wood is brilliant!

It was probably Jenny Eclair. She would do anything in those days, just for a little attention.
ReplyDeleteeclair? Should have been a cream horn.
ReplyDeleteBOOM BOOM!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like Jenny Eclair....
she amuses me
Same as Jane & Chris
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she ever owned an Volkswagen... she would have had her initials on the front. Better than a vanity number any day!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a startled ID. In one of my drivers licence shots, I had my eyes closed for ten years. As if asleep.
ReplyDeleteWell, who wouldn't be startled?
ReplyDeleteI like Jenny too but you can have too much of a good thing.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm off to Bird's to buy an eclair - you've made me hungry.
