Believe me, I am not a big David Jason fan, and am one of the few people you will meet who thinks "Only Fools and Horses" is absolute tripe. But today, the actor who plays Del Boy, was forrced to apologise for cracking this joke on a radio station called Absolute. See what you think;
"What do you call a Pakistani cloakroom attendant?"
"Mahatma coat."
Apart from the fact that it is painfully unfunny, a sub standard Christmas cracker joke. But the little known radio station, probably seeing a chance to drum up publicity, made a big song and dance about it, and issued some guff statement about how they were "Shocked" and that the comments made were "Unacceptable" This after the station received the sum total of ZERO complaints from listeners. This could perhaps stem from the amount of people tuning in, or, as I suspect, the fact that it is not offensive in the slightest.
