    What did you most like?
    - The food.
    Later: overall, we didn’t like the food.

    'I've haven't had onion soup for a long long long long long long long long time. In fact I don't think I've ever had onion soup.' Clearly talking up to the news, Alan Partridge-style.

    Pieter Carp (1934-1980) was a Belgian musician and singer-songwriter, noted for his early 1960s hits Sharp Edges and Sweet Tooth. Carp was also notable for his height, he was reputedly almost 7ft tall, and was a national table tennis champion in his native Belgium before securing his first recording contract in 1959. Carp was killed in a skiing accident in 1980 which also claimed the life of a spectator.

    When you phone Lionel Blair, you sound just like my old friend, my former driving examiner, and later Advanced Driving Observer, Mr. Andrew Noble. Of course, Peter Sellers’ Bluebottle voice was based on a Scoutmaster. And Mr. Noble was one, too! But yeah, the voice is very reminiscent!

    Pieter Carp should have taken up Adhesives, instead of Skiing. He could have stuck to Glue, that way. May he and the spectator rest, in peace.
