Bernie Clifton’s Grandad?
Oh god, more likely his dad. I tend to forget how old I am now and thus how very old people I remember as being ‘grown-ups’ must be.
Forgive my ignorance, but who is or was Bernie Clifton?
Mr.Key!
Who is or was Bernie Clifton?
In the words of The Residents “Ignorance of your culture is not considered cool”
If I were you I wouldn’t fret unduly about this one.
It does appear though that he still ‘is’ and is not yet ‘was’.

O.S.M.
Mr. Key,
In an attempt to encourage you to expand your horizons, I suggest you acquaint yourself with the following titans of contemporary culture:
Bungle
Zippy
Orville
Emu
Mr Blobby
Sir Trevor McDonald
O.S.M.
In contemporary parlance,lets not go there OSM.
Mr Key, please note that all of those on OSM’s list are/were in fact some form of hand puppet, with one obvious exception.
Mr Blobby was a chap (?) in a costume.
