I'm pretty sure a version of the Viz "Profanisaurus" published after this event included the entry Taylforth (n) "A roadside fellatrix".

The current 40th anniversary book contains this :-

Taylback n. A traffic jam caused by an ill-timed attack of pancrewatitis in a layby.


This hefty tome has a foreword supposedly by Professor Brian Cox where he describes the book as an insult to,,4 billion years of evolution.

That's brilliant

BTW she lives quite close to Hertford these days and is often in town.

Not from these pages, but a cracking tripadvisor review of the Tickell Arms, not far from today's target in Duxford...

"The Tickell will come as a surprise (shock?) to those who remember The Tickell Arms under the eccentric proprietorship of The Squire, ‘Kim’ Joseph Hollick De La Taste Tickell. No loud Wagner; no banning of t-shirts and men with ear rings; no Lady Bracknellesque, ‘We don’t serve things in baaags!’ to a request for a packet of crisps. And a shock too to those who visited in more recent years and were charmed by both its quirky, shabby gentility and inventive food. After a major makeover visitors now find clean, calm orderliness and good food, with which regular diners at the cambscuisine’s other restaurants are familiar. Chatter, clinking cutlery and, on summer nights, the tinkling fountain have replaced the Ride of the Valkyries. Going to the loo is not the challenge it once was. It’s progress of a sort – you can dine well and won’t run the being insulted or tripping on a loose carpet, but it’s no longer the distinctively memorable experience it once was"

Mr Mapp's review of The Wavendon Arms did raise a smile...

"Doom bar and TT Landlord on. I asked for the Landlord. The waitress said "I'm just a waitress". I asked again and she said "Do you want me to fetch the Landlord".

I resorted to pointing."

Excellent. You couldn't make it up.
