And now it doesn't. But I wouldn't over-intellectualise the average British football hooligan. They might like to see themselves as political polemics with their fists, but they're not. Most of them just like a good fight.

Well, it was handed to my great-uncle John. He was a war hero. He got the George Medal for heroism in the war. Actually, a brilliant story because he was in the army in World War II. He'd been invalided temporarily out with some bad injuries. And he was in a pub where he was being billeted with his, I think it was the Irish Regiment. And a prototype German bomber landed in a field near the pub.

And the guys all grabbed their guns and they went and had it out with the German crew because it hadn't exploded. And they heard one of them say, bomber, bomber. And my great uncle John jumped in, looked around, found the bomb, which was designed to blow up the prototype plane so the Allies couldn't get the information from it, and threw it away into a pond where it blew up.

And he got the George Medal. It would have been the George Cross, which is the military version. But at the time, he was actually deemed to be a civilian because he was invalided. He was going to go back. And it was actually – it was the Battle of Graveney Marsh. You can read about it. No way. It was the last time that British troops engaged an enemy in British soil, and it was 70 years ago.

And they had the anniversary about – It must have been 10 years ago. My brother went down. He was an army colonel with my grandmother, whose brother it would be. And they had a lovely day down in Graveney Marsh. And that was the last time. And he won the medal for that. It's just a great story. And the other great part of it was he went to get his George medal up from Buckingham Palace.

I think it must have been from the Queen, I guess. And he went out the night before with the regiment, got blind drunk, came back, told the porter outside, I've got an appointment with the Queen at 11 o'clock. He thought the guy was obviously just making this up, laughed, didn't wake him up, overslept.

Wow. He did get it eventually. Great Uncle John, a fantastic guy. Anyway, the point of the story is that he was at Covent Garden talking to a flower seller. And the flower seller was imparting these phrases. And one was, life ain't much, but it's all you got. So stick a geranium in your hat and be happy.
