DD, Sir - you and your ilk are a vagabond, a caddish interloper and a carbon-coated trixter. Sir and My Lady, in light of the Denny effete I shall say just ONE THING!! And, Mrs Marjorie is in agreement that this shall be known and disseminated throughout the Kingdom and other places that shall be outside and yonder of the zone known as "EU territory". You, Sir, Lord and My Honour I shall say this - you and your kind are a BAD Apple (not G. Delicious or Grannies Smith) but one that has fallen from the tree, the little boy Rusky has picked up and given to a venerable old tramp sitting on a rotten, wreaking bench. You are a poster, an inquisitor with a narrow mindset and shall I ever be ever that says this - E-N-O-U-G-H and be banished and be gotten in to the one and ... and so on, My Sir!

I thought I remembered reading on this forum that Mr Croucher had left to run a pub somewhere, some time ago.

Anyway, according to the UKIP website, there is a UKIP press office:

UK Independence Party - Contact

so why not ring the number - 0207 222 9365 - and see who answers?

Mark drives a car with one too many stereos. He plays the rock and roll music loud and fast and the stripes on the side are emblasoned with a word "EU. NO. UK. YES"

His pub asks the fisherman if a round is more or less than a pint of lager and a packet of crisps please. "Yes," he says.

Then the pork scratchings are served and the Press Officer links arms around him and he was at 123, New John Street.

Rejoice - Mark - wife and brings the bacon.
