Very clever partridges if they were talking to a farmer!

Ian,
Sorry, but you've misunderstood Brian's post. :roll:

It's not the Partridges which were clever but the farmer, Jack Dolittle, a well-known character in Waddington. I think his father was a retired GP and Rex Harrison was a close family friend.
