Have you ever been twiddling your browhair in that busy supermarket queue and suddenly realized: "I forgot to get yeast!"....

You want to jog back to the yeast aisle, but there are now at least three families behind you with large fully laden trolleys of small items. Frothing at the mouth, all.

Well, celebrate! Just inflate your portable Bernard Bresslaw, and your place will be kept. It even holds your basket and advances one step every thirty seconds.

Available in two models: "Up The Khyber" or "Nude".

       This idea sounds very fun. Imagine the look on the face of the Nun at the till: 'Ooooh, Big Bernard Bresslaw Not-Hissing Air!'   

       Alternatively, one could send Bernard for the yeast.   

       Although at that rate this might take some time.   

       Could it have 'skipping' mode for certain stages?

       Could there also be a Sid James model with 'dirty laugh' feature, or a Charles Haughtrey for narrower check-out aisles?

       ... and a Hatty Jacques for wide aisles.   

       I was going to suggest a Jack Douglas for getting rounds in down the pub, but he would keep throwing the beer over his shoulder.

       I am cornfooz. Is this some UKoGBaNI thing?

       'fraid so. "Carry On" movies. Curiously British smutty humour from the 20th century. For some reason, they never exported as well as Benny Hill.

       I'd so buy a portable Benny Hill. Be great fun at parties, in locker rooms, at the all-girls academy...

       I'm currently renting portable Frankie Howerds for wedding ceremonies.   

       Available in two models: "Toga" or "Older"

       I have three of the Howerd "Toga" models - it makes for a good night in just watching them out-"Ooh missus" each other. Although I also use one Derek Griffiths for variety.   

       Americans: please hold, am still trying to compute your equivalent...   

       ...maybe we Halfbake: obscure cultural icon translator?   

       ...does every country have its own Brian Cant?

       Certainly not!   

       But Roger Cobb is indeed transcendental!
