* A bawdy music hall song circa 1910 by George Henry Bastow, of which the following lines give some flavour...

All the girls declare
He's a grand old stager
Bumpety-bumpety-bumpety-bump
Here comes the Galloping Major....

We Brits may no longer be up to classic stage or film comedy, but it's not for lack of material !
