The Passing Show: the Death of a Clown

[Bijou Drains]

“This will be the fourteenth prime minister I will have served under – and I’ve been poor under everyone of ’em.”

1 Sunak
2 Truss
3 Johnson
4 May
5 Cameron
6 Brown
7 Blaire
8 Major
9 Twatcher
10 Callaghan
11 Wilson
12 Heath
13 McMillan
14 Douglas-Home

Same number as me, and (despite earlier promises) I’ve not retired. Maybe that’s why Chelmsford is so pissed off with Pensioners. I don’t even get a bleeding bus pass!

I missed Heath. How could I have missed him? The 14th Earl of Hume was in fact No 13 as he came after Supermac. And the 14th Mr Wilson came before Ted Teeth.

So the both of you were born during the reign of Supermac (1957-1963) which wouldn’t make you pensioners yet. Quite young really.

If poor old Enoch were alive today he would be turning in his grave.
