Sorry, old boy, don't quite get the banter QUOTE]
'Ring ring ring....'Hello, Buckingham Place here, Can I help you'.... 'Tell QE2 its Readie on the dog and I have discovered a swamp full of Russians who have NOT been out on the toot for the royal saucepan'.... 'Oh, **** me... is that rabble in the north again?' ... ( hand over the mouth piece)... 'No Phillip we cannot get the RAF to bomb them...'
'on the dog' = dog and bone slang for phone.
'on the toot' = out drinking and enjoying.
'royal saucepan' = saucepan lid slang for kid. royal saucepan is slang for the heir to the throne.
