I used to work on them beasts. 'Normal' folk just wouldn't be able to live with the smell that hits you when you open up a leaking Packer-Plate ram for repair! How you guys got what you got into those things, still amazes me! :-)

[@Nini-ek6on]

I had never heard of him till seeing a clip about his son on the voice. He resembles he late Robin Williams.

[@johnlecheminant5217]

It was number 1 on my birthday - v proud of that - pure british humour

[@keithdawes2685]

Sadly you can't get a council flat now and in some places of the country if you did get an ex-council flat its worth more than a life time of working

[@1boarhunt933]

God he's a double of robin Williams comedian

[@noelinez]

A lekker little diddy to make you smile and sing along .

[@zeroken3432]

[@xjet]

Good to see Google's AI totally mis-identifying this song and attributing it to Bobby Vinton. Sigh! AI will be the end of us all :-(

A excepción de the beatles y Queen , la música británica es muy bueeena ❤️🇬🇧 , es norteamericana en sus raíces

[@junglebrov]

Robin Williams?

[@davidchynoweth4007]

I was just thinking that too

[@FlamingoKicker]

What the hell is a dustbin?

[@paulmarkwilkinson8778]

British slang for a trash can

[@nichhodge8503]

@@paulmarkwilkinson8778it’s not slang you fool they’re dustbins and that’s what they’re called also I’m English not British I was born in Plymouth England not in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland

I'm laughing my face off in 2024; Nuts to political correctness. 😂

[@TheGiantKillers]

Unfortunately this song now has to be banned in 2019 as it uses the word dustman instead of dustperson and the band lack ethnic diversity.

[@LordStompyHarpLoonyTunes]

Racial diversity back then was The Black & White Minstrel Show
