Non-diving related British humor

Well it's been very slow on the Board of late so I thought I'd share this clip from a 1970's British comedy sketch. You may disagree but I find the understated humor hilarious. Just shows how my brain works. Enjoy. Mark

Thanks, Mark. As a Brit, I too appreciate this kind of understated humour. I particularly like the little subtle touches such as the name of the café in the sketch. The minimalisation of speech content also reminds me of certain French films such as Jacques Tati's "Monsieur Hulot's Holiday":
