Great to hear a musical version of the original Gerard Hoffnung classic 'The Bricklayers Story'. When Hoffnung told this at the 1958 Oxford Union he was only 33 years old but sounded as old as me!

IMHO, The Corries musical version is better, but you can't beat the original. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOy2GuaP8Mo

Oh o.k. then, just be aware that a bun is the lowest form of wheat.
