You've all got it wrong.

"You are Lobby Lud and I claim the Daily Herald prize of £10"!



[Explanatory note for les jeunes:

'Lobby Lud' was a man hired by a daily newspaper to prowl along the promenades of British seaside resorts. A "photoshopped" picture of him appeared in the paper.

If someone went up to him, carrying that day's edition of the newspaper, and challenging him with the exact words quoted above, he/she would be rewarded accordingly.

Many men were startled to be accosted in that manner.]
I believe the newspaper was the 'Western Gazette' and you sir, are showing your age! This was way back when I was a kid and thus early fifties!

Sorry Mods, off piste for a second.

Roger.
