Greetings from this old Englishman. You two are brilliant !! I just love your infectious laugh when listening to our down to Earth humour. In winter, Bluetits are notorious for pecking holes in milk bottle tops to get at the cream. Keep up the laughter. Cheers !
In the UK paper delivery people have to walk to the door and post the paper through the letter box. Throwing the paper? Easy life. As a paper boy in the 1970s, the page three in Sun and the Daily Star was very educational for a teenager.
Yes, I agree. The little "quotes" attributed to the Ladies were very educational. I remember learning the difference between a native Hornet and some invasive species, all via a little saucy inuendo. ;)
You were correct. The ‘Sun’ newspaper’s page 3 always depicted topless models from the early 1970’s through to 2015 in the UK. Needless to say the circulation of the paper increased significantly during that period 👍
At around 12 or 13 yr old in the 90's my dad started handing me page 3 model posters for my bedroom wall, Joe Guest, Samantha Fox and Linda Lusardi. Legend.
Has anyone suggested Morecambe and Wise , Andre Previn skit to you guys? I promise not to mention your shirt again. It was just an example of the English taking the piss. 😊
Reminded me of the old computer game Paperboy. Your character had to ride his bike while throwing the papers but there were obstacles you had to avoid and jumps to make.
The birds which in the USA are called Chickadees, in the UK are called Tits. One of these called, I kid you not, the Blue Tit, back in the 60's learned to peck through the foil top on milk bottles left on doorsteps to access the cream. Doorstep delivery of milk came to an end in the 80s
Enjoyed your comment. In the 'old days' milk brought to the door was entirely full cream, unlike the skimmed versions available nowadays. Actually, my neighbour here in the Midlands has his milk delivered to his doorstep, which does raise eyebrows, but, yeah, the milk float is now largely a thing of the past, at least in urban and suburban areas. (No doubt someone is going to challenge me on that, ha ha). Robert, uk.
I still have my milk in bottles delivered to my doorstep daily. Can't remember the last time I had problems with Blue Tits pecking through the foil caps.
There are already two responses to my comment about milk deliveries being a thing of the past (although I did say 'largely'). I stand corrected, and await with bated breath more replies. Robert, uk.
2:04 "That one went over my head." I'm not surprised; of course it did. I'm actually surprised -- and pleased-- that you get (understand) so many of their jokes. I didn't think so many of them would be understood outside specifically British culture. I wonder if you've tried Fawlty Towers, Blackadder (later series) Only Fools and Horses.
Hi Mike and Jess! The Sun is a UK 'tabloid' daily newspaper launched in the mid 60's as a rival to the Daily Mirror, and was bought by Rupert Murdoch in 1969 when it was struggling, they introduced the 'Page 3 girls' in 1970, with topless young ladies, many of whom became famous due to this, Page 3 was finally discontinued in 2015. Back in the day, doorstep delivery of milk was the norm - in pint glass bottles with a foil top, and was usually full cream milk and before homogenised milk became standard, the cream would float to the top, which is what the birds were after! Skimmed milk was not widely available until later, semi-skimmed (which I think you call 2%) has become the most popular in the UK now. Love the reactions - and Jess' laugh! 😊
great reaction as always The 2 Ronnies also do some great/ funny musical numbers too check this one a Country and Western Slim Pickman and Polly Parton classic musical number from the two ronnies
The 'class thing that you mentioned: Add the taller John Cleese and you have the old Class sketch from 'The Frost Report' with Ron B as middle class and Ron C knowing his place.
YOU MUST---WATCH THE RONNIES, PLAYING TWO IRISHMEN IN A BAR, ONE BEHIND THE BAR, THE OTHER A CUSTOMER. THE DIALOGUE IS SUPERB, TRULY, ONE OF THEIR BEST.
Page 3 of the sun newspaper had a topless women on it, Blue Tit is the name of a bird . We used to get milk delivered in glass 1pint bottles with silver foil lids that the birds used to peck open to drink the cream from the top of the milk .
We have a small songbird here in the uk called a " Bluetit ! which is a member of the Tit family which includes - Great Tits ! Long tailed Tits, Bearded Tits, and coal Tits etc !! - True ! The blue Tits were the culprits when it came to alighting on your glass milk bottles which the milkman had brought round very early in the morning, and they pecked a hole in the foil top, and got at the milk !
There are literally 1000's of very clever sketches(not skits) from the Two Ronnies. And many many more from duo's like Morecombe and Wise a good one to check is with the then world famous orchestra conductor Andre Previn or there ongoing sketches where they take the mickey out of a famous singer/chat show host/performer Des O'Conner who is actually a good friend of theirs, Brits just love making fun of each other and being the butts of each others jokes etc.
We used to get our milk delivered in bottles. Birds would peirce the foil with there beaks. Often the birds responsible were Blue Tits ..Hence the joke😂
There was (and maybe still is I suppose) a time when commuters used to do crosswords on the train on their way to work (I haven't travelled on a train for decades). Now, among the first class passengers, it appears, that there was prestige about being able to complete the Times crossword in as short period of time as possible. Enter my story. A young Captain and I were travelling to London. He pulled the Times from his attache case, looks at his watch and scribbles the time on the margin. He then proceeds to fill in the puzzle stopping frequently to think. He then looks at his watch, writes down the time and then puts the paper away. Awhile later we were at a platform cafe waiting for the next train connection. I asked him if I could read the news paper, which he passed over to me. 10 minutes later I reached the page with the crossword in it. It was full of random letters!! I mentioned this to him with an accusatory look. He replied "Those pompous fools take themselves very seriously. When I complete the puzzle in 5 or 6 minutes they often give a respectable nod in my direction. What they NEVER do is ask what you wrote down for 7 across..." I nearly choked on my coffee :) Genuine true story lol
The bird pecking the bottle tops is a Tit. “Tit” is a shortening of “titmouse”, still the term used in North America for a similar kind of small bird. In Middle English it was titmose, though speakers ended up confusing mose with the more common word “mouse”. This is what led to the second element being dropped - as these were small birds, not mice. This is not to be confused with the slang term for breast. This derives from a teat or a nipple, used, chiefly regionally, with reference to a female animal. Of Middle English/Germanic origin, tit means a thing resembling a teat or nipple in appearance; a small conical protuberance or (originally Military slang) a push-button.
Our milk used to come in glass bottles, delivered by a milkman. The bottles used have a metallic top seal, which birds used to peck through. The bird referred to is a 'Tit" A British bird very common. Now days of course, the milkman no longer exists and all milk is bought at the supermarket in waxed cardboard cartons, or plastic bottles.
When I was out of hospital I remember my mum doing the crossword in the newspaper, I walked over and was able to figure out the nine letter word in the word wheel within a matter of seconds, I can still do it now but it sometimes takes me a little longer
The two Ronnies and John Cleese appeared on a late night satirical program introduced by David Frost (of the Richard Nixon fame) where the lined up in class and height order and spouted what each thought of the other two classes. Tw3. Or that was the week that was.
OK, the last joke with the nun is a twofer: she had also written shit instead of grit, and asked for a rubber, which is what we call an eraser in the uk, but it's also slang for a condom, an unlikely thing for a nun to ask for. Ronnie Barker (in the bowler hat) wrote a lot of the sketches under the pseudonym of Gerald wiley, and posted in so his work would be judged on merit rather than because he was the star. His wordplay is amazing. These guys were great
In the UK, our garden is what you'd call your yard. The fenced off grassy area behind your house. If we have bedded plants, we call them a 'specific' garden (flower garden, vegetable garden, herb garden). But when we just say 'garden', we mean 'yard'. In the UK, if you don't have a garden, you may have a yard. A yard is a walled concrete covered area behind the house that doesn't have grass.
The unexpurgated version of this end like this - "feminine gender, four letters, ending in UNT?" The answer is "AUNT" , whereupon the Nun asks for an eraser. (Rubber). Hilarious!
This whole things is a typical commuter train carriage in the 1960's. There's always a crossword. Now is just a thousand mobile phone conversations. I prefer the crossword naturally!!
You guys laughter is infectious. Laughter is the best tonic. British humour can sometimes take a while to get your head around, especially the older stuff some of which is regarded as woke today!! Best wishes.
The Sun and other 'Red Banner' newspapers used to have what was called Page 3, which was some topless woman on the page. Some became quite famous and started to be on shows on television (fully clothed of course lol). Two of the most famous were Samantha (Sam) Fox and Linda Lusardi. Also the 'tits' answer for birds the peck the milk bottle tops, in Britain we have a number of birds in the tit family including Blue Tit, Great Tit and Crested Tit. They are usually quite small birds.
Just found your site.. you two young people are delightful ! NOW for your next reactions of Billy Connolly UK's greatest gift to comedy...you will love him .. !!
its funny you mentioned, that no one has a Garden anymore and when they do they use it for vegetables. Thats was the very purpose of "wasting" land when the garden was invented. Its was a Status Symbol. Basically saying "Ive got so much money / land, I can waste it by growning nothing but grass and flowers on it. Not only is it not making me money, its Costing me money to maintain it".
Nowadays most people buy their milk from supermarkets here in the UK but back then when this sketch was made (probably 70s or 80s), milk was delivered in glass bottles sealed with a foil top that birds would sometimes peck with their beaks to break. Some of these birds were tits, such as blue tits but there was also one called great tits and The Sun newspaper again at the time of this sketch, used to feature photos on page three of female topless models and so that was the joke in reference to the crossword clue being tits.
To 99.9% of Americans a garden is a fenced area on the property used for growing vegetables. What British people call a garden is what Americans call a yard, in Britain we generally grow flowers around a lawn in the front garden and veg in part of the back garden.
The two Ronnies did a sketch with John Cleese a few years before this when they humorously explained the British class system ruclips.net/video/Pd7p4GRrdKg/видео.html
Hi if you like the Two Ronnies use of the English Language you should watch them in the Two Ronnies "Rhyming Slang Sermon" that will really open your ears. Good videos thanks enkoyed that.
The sketch was taken from an old joke about a priest and a nun on a train doing the same crossword puzzle. The nun said to the priest, 'Have you got 5 across, 'Found on the bottom of a budgies cage, 4 letters ending with 'i.t.'? The priest replied 'Grit'! The nun said 'of course, do you have an eraser I could use'? The priest then said 'How about 12 down, 4 letters ending with 'k' meaning intercourse'? The nun looked at her paper and said, 'Talk'! The priest replied 'Ah yes, I'm going to need my eraser back'. Finally, the nun said 'I'm only one short of finishing, 17 down, relative to the female, four letters, ending with U.N.T.'? The priest checked his paper and said 'Aunt', to which the nun said 'give me the eraser again'!
"Tit" is an abreviasion of "Titmouse" which comes from two Old English words "tit" and "muse" (moos), basicaly "Small Bird" They are related to your American "Chickadees"

Try watching Porridge with Ronnie Barker. His cell mate Kenny Godber is played by the late Richard Beckinsale. Kate Beckinsale's dad
A garden in the Uk is what you would call the backyard.
The Sun newspaper used to feature a picture of a topless woman on page 3 hence the two across joke.
And the birds one, tits 😂😂
Hence the tits joke that followed and cross referencing with page 3.
You were getting there when you said "jugs" 🤣🤣
Yes, there is a type of bird in the UK called a Tit; they would peck holes in milk bottle tops
Americans call them 'Chickadees'. Great Tits, Coal Tits, Blue Tits. Parididae !
Short for titmouse
Greetings from this old Englishman. You two are brilliant !! I just love your infectious laugh when listening to our down to Earth humour. In winter, Bluetits are notorious for pecking holes in milk bottle tops to get at the cream. Keep up the laughter. Cheers !
Because the milkman may arrive early in the morning so the milk was left on the doorstep.
In the UK paper delivery people have to walk to the door and post the paper through the letter box. Throwing the paper? Easy life. As a paper boy in the 1970s, the page three in Sun and the Daily Star was very educational for a teenager.

Yes, I found that topless girls improved the circulation by a noticeable amount. Probably sold more newspapers too. 😃
Being top less improves the circulation... due to the cold?!?
You do know that circulation is the term for newspaper sales figures ?
At around 12 or 13 yr old in the 90's my dad started handing me page 3 model posters for my bedroom wall,
Joe Guest, Samantha Fox and Linda Lusardi.
Legend.
@@st3v3ndcI got Linda lusardi to sign my page 3 from the local newsagents when she opened Texas in Hendon London
Lovely woman
I was only about 12 lol
Co-op is a supermarket in the UK.. hence where he said fish are kept in a coop.. ment the supermarket
when you said that you get your milk in jugs i was laughing so hard because you answered the puzzle without realizing it. lol🤣🤣🤣- -ts hahahahaha
The 2 Ronnies were wonderful with the English language. Please check out more of their clips. Very clever
Page 3 of The Sun newspaper always used to have a topless girl on it.
And it was wonderful for a young teenage boy 😁
Yes page 3 in the sun newspaper always had a topless woman on it 😁
and I worked directly oppoite their entrance Off Fleet Street and saw the beauties go in,sometimes:)
Mike and Jess your chemistry is perfect too.
i liked the sun paper👀 for the crosswords 🤣 as well,the daily star had a page 3 as well
Has anyone suggested Morecambe and Wise , Andre Previn skit to you guys?
I promise not to mention your shirt again. It was just an example of the English taking the piss. 😊
Tits, a species of small garden bird, famous for pecking through the foil bottle tops of milk left on the doorstep.
Morecambe and Wise are another duo worth a look at, they were around about the same time as The Two Ronnies
Reminded me of the old computer game Paperboy. Your character had to ride his bike while throwing the papers but there were obstacles you had to avoid and jumps to make.
I remember that game
In Britain, A garden is essentially what you would term; the backyard.
This was highly enjoyable thank you. Keep doing what you're doing.
AHH folk's you gotta do another Taras Stanan reaction. His take on the weekends SAME is incredible. No.. it's absolutely phenomenal.❤️❤️👍
I like The Two Ronnies but YOU enjoying it doubles it ! Best Wishes !
It's nice to see the younger generation laughing at the comedy I used to watch in the 1970's. Also the best David in the UK
The birds which in the USA are called Chickadees, in the UK are called Tits. One of these called, I kid you not, the Blue Tit, back in the 60's learned to peck through the foil top on milk bottles left on doorsteps to access the cream. Doorstep delivery of milk came to an end in the 80s

There are two milk delivery vans come to my street in the north east of England.

@@robertknight2556take a breath, we get it delivered, and although we have tits in the garden from time to time no cream has been extracted.
2:04 "That one went over my head."
I'm not surprised; of course it did. I'm actually surprised -- and pleased-- that you get (understand) so many of their jokes.

A garden in England is what you would call a yard - not just for vegetables.
A yard in England is definitely not a garden of any kind!
Page 3 of the sun newspaper had a topless women on it, Blue Tit is the name of a bird . We used to get milk delivered in glass 1pint bottles with silver foil lids that the birds used to peck open to drink the cream from the top of the milk .
*woman
You will love the Irish Pub sketch.
Page 3 of the Sun used to have topless models on it. It was stopped because of changing times.
Noddy used to be an animated children's program.
Great reaction once again.😄😄

Back in the days of 'the milkman - the glass milk bottles used to have a tin foil tops and the birds used to peck through the top and have a drink.

That nun was doing the same puzzle hahaha,
The sun news paper had a page 3 topless model.
Please do the Irish pub sketch...Brilliant!
One word that encapsulates Ronnie C and Ronnie B ......................LEGENDS....
The sun used to have a topless woman on page 3 .. great reaction.
Co-op is/a supermarket chain in the UK......reference here to frozen fish
The bird pecking the bottle tops is a Tit.

Congrats guys you guessed what was on page 3 of the tabloid newspaper The Sun....topless women!
Honestly your nearly there about our sense of humour ❤
Have a watch of The Two Ronnies “Irish Pub”
One of the page three girls, Nina Carter married former Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman in 1984, and they divorced in 2004.
If you goes to plant vegetable also plant a herbalist garden to.
Our milk used to come in glass bottles, delivered by a milkman. The bottles used have a metallic top seal, which birds used to peck through. The bird referred to is a 'Tit" A British bird very common. Now days of course, the milkman no longer exists and all milk is bought at the supermarket in waxed cardboard cartons, or plastic bottles.

The birds which tradtionally pecked holes in milk bottles tops were Great Tits and Blue Tits...hence the double entrendre with Page 3!
Aww bless you there’s lots of British references from the -970’s. Xx
Coop (Cooperative) is a supermarket.
The two Ronnies and John Cleese appeared on a late night satirical program introduced by David Frost (of the Richard Nixon fame) where the lined up in class and height order and spouted what each thought of the other two classes. Tw3. Or that was the week that was.
OK, the last joke with the nun is a twofer: she had also written shit instead of grit, and asked for a rubber, which is what we call an eraser in the uk, but it's also slang for a condom, an unlikely thing for a nun to ask for. Ronnie Barker (in the bowler hat) wrote a lot of the sketches under the pseudonym of Gerald wiley, and posted in so his work would be judged on merit rather than because he was the star. His wordplay is amazing. These guys were great
A couple of things = that particular paper had a topless model on page 3
...and two across..
Gardens in the UK are normally grass & flowers..
One of the best Two Ronnies sketches is the one set in a Library. All the books are sorted by colour rather than title or author.
In the UK, our garden is what you'd call your yard. The fenced off grassy area behind your house. If we have bedded plants, we call them a 'specific' garden (flower garden, vegetable garden, herb garden). But when we just say 'garden', we mean 'yard'.
In the UK, if you don't have a garden, you may have a yard. A yard is a walled concrete covered area behind the house that doesn't have grass.
Fork handles!!! These two a comedy legends Ronnie Barker and the smaller Ronnie Corbet hence the Two Ronnies. Check out the sketch for Forkhandles
Check out our Two Ronnies Playlist. It's the first reaction we did to them
The unexpurgated version of this end like this - "feminine gender, four letters, ending in UNT?" The answer is "AUNT" , whereupon the Nun asks for an eraser. (Rubber). Hilarious!
This whole things is a typical commuter train carriage in the 1960's. There's always a crossword. Now is just a thousand mobile phone conversations. I prefer the crossword naturally!!
We call erasers rubbers in england because they rub things away and are made of rubber
Another great show in the UK is Max and Paddy.
They were 15 of us use to do this crossword every day at work 😂
You need to do a reaction to would i lie to you bob mortima best bits 😂😂
You guys laughter is infectious. Laughter is the best tonic. British humour can sometimes take a while to get your head around, especially the older stuff some of which is regarded as woke today!! Best wishes.
Great reaction, 🇬🇧
The Sun and other 'Red Banner' newspapers used to have what was called Page 3, which was some topless woman on the page. Some became quite famous and started to be on shows on television (fully clothed of course lol). Two of the most famous were Samantha (Sam) Fox and Linda Lusardi.

also co-op is a supermarket here. (for the chicken/fish joke)
A lot of the Two Ronnies sketches were from scripts sent to the BBC by someone called Gerald Wiley.
See if you can find more about him…

The sketch was taken from an old joke about a priest and a nun on a train doing the same crossword puzzle.
