    The Sun was infamous for having a topless model on page 3 (not anymore). There is also a few species of birds known as ‘tits’ such as the bluetit. For many decades milk was delivered in glass bottles with foil covers over the top but some species of smaller birds such as the tit learned to peck through the foil to get at the cream floating around the top so sometimes you would go out to bring in the milk delivery from the porch to find that birds had already pecked their way into your milk.

    In the past, you used to get your milk delivered to your house in 1-pint glass bottles which had a foil lid. Tits, small birds, would peck through the foil to get at the cream in the top of the bottle. The Sun, a paper, used to feature a full page topless model on Page 3. Noddy was a popular children’s character created by Enid Blyton and featured in a series of books between 1949-1963. It was adapted for television in 1955.
    The last one is just the straight, classic misdirection joke. Bird cages here in the UK usually had the bottom lined with sheets of grit (later on sandpaper, iirc), but the audience are encouraged to be rude and think the answer is bird poop (sh*t) which, of course, is even funnier because the Nun - traditionally a morally upstanding figure - thought the same.
    I’m sure I’ve pointed out the same as other comments, but the Two Ronnies were fantastic entertainers and we all just want to help you appreciate their classic humour. Keep up the great work 👍

    In America you have birds called Chickadees.. In the UK we called them Tits which are known to peck holes in milk bottle tops to get to the cream which rises to the top in full fat milk.. Years ago milk only came in bottles which were left early in the morning on your doorstep by the milkman.. A popular daily newspaper called the Sun always had a topless model on page three.. Hence if you want the answer to that question check out page three..

    Good guessed but you reckoned without our class system . Ronnie B was the intellectual City gent , Ronnie C the working class bloke reading the Sun , which in the 80's was about as uncomplicated as you can get . Page 3 always had a full picture of a topless model and the crossword had two sets of clues with the same answers . You could try the hard ones but the coffee time clues almost gave you the answer . We also used to have milk delivered to the doorstep daily in glass long bottles with silver foil tops . There are several types of tits ( small birds) and some learned to peck through to get at the cream at the top of the milk . It's another very clever sketch from the Ronnies and very relatable to the times .

  • @nadeansimmons226
    @nadeansimmons226 19 днів тому +6

    Tits is the answer. Milk was delivered to peoples homes and left on the doorsteps. The milk came in glass bottles and had foil on the tops. The colour of the foil matched the type of milk. The jokes around the answer were because the Sun was famous for having pictures of bare breasted women on page 3.

    The answer to question 2, pecks holes in milk bottle tops is tits. Tits are small birds and mainly in winter they would drink the cream at the top of the milk by pecking holes in the aluminium tops. The bottles were left at the front door by the milkman in the early hours of the morning

    I haven't read through all the comments but you're definitely not stupid for not getting a lot of this one (not that you ever are but I know that some judgemental people love to throw that comment around on frankly all reaction channels). There're some very specific British humour jokes and ones that are very much of their time. If you were British too and perhaps in your early 20's you wouldn't get some of the references. Keep up the great reviews!👏

    For 44 years (up until 2015) Page 3 of the Sun used to be famous for having a picture of topless female models every day. Birds used to peck holes in foil milk bottle tops, when milk used to be delivered by a milkman in the early hours and left outside. The type of bird that did that were ‘tits’. Hence the comment “you’ll find the answer on page 3”. And the comment that people only read the Sun for one thing, or rather a couple of things 👛👛. And yes, the nun was asking for an eraser (rubber to rub out her mistake).

    The clue about bird that pecks milk bottle tops (as most people who commented have said) was Tits. They are a family of small birds and there are a few including Blue Tit, Great Tit and Crested Tit. If I can I will link the Wikipedia page about them. Page 3 in the Sun (and some other 'Red Banner' newspapers) used to have a topless woman on it and some say that was the only reason a lot of men bought it for.

Brits wouldn't recognise either. I would be cautious of Wiggy's suggestions in future. I always look forward to your videos, keep up the good work.
