Geri.

Another howler ! Poor padre, he must've felt he was on a hiding to nothing with you in his Sunday School !

Of course "****" is the last Taboo that even the BBC cannot break - but it calls to mind another apocryphal story which used to be well known in the RAF in my day.

The scenario: the airmen are filing into Church on a Church Parade. One chap has forgotten to take off his beret as he mounts the steps . "Take yer 'at off in the 'Ouse of Gawd, XXXX !" bawls the Sergeant. ......

À propos of Church Parades, Geriaviator (Jnr), in a later environment, has told a tale to chill the bones of any padre, and no doubt he will tell it again in due course, but of course I would not dream of "shooting his fox !"
