at uni a mates dad had ben a maasivw Ken Dodd fan, so this lad had grown up with the videos and seen him live with his couple of times. He ad assumed knotty ash was a made up place, (diddy man running around, jam butty mines, why wouldnt you?)
so he was amazed I was really from there. One summer he came to visit and one nigt we went to the knotty, a few pints in, he is sat facing the door, his jaw drops open....you'll be taking me to the jam buttie mines next......I turn round and 5 or 6 dwarves (midgets, little people?) have come in. Id drank in there for years and never seen that, but here is my mate sat in a pub her had thougt was fictional drinking with the diddy men!
