Good lord ! A right bunch of villagers !

I used to play at a fairly snobby club in the Middlesex League. One Sunday we were playing a friendly against Reading, another big town club. A new player was appearing for them. A somewhat coarse type but he took 7 wickets and we were well beaten.
In the bar afterwards,this was before drink driving ruined the fun, lashings of bitter beer was dispensed in watering cans and a jolly time was had by all. Towards the end of the evening, I overheard our skipper, a rather pompous city gent, talking to their skipper. This is how it went. You'll have to imagine his pompous voice.

' I say old chap, where did your new bowler come from?'
'Woodley', replied theIR skipper.
'Woodley ?....pause..... Woodley ?' our man queried. 'Who the hell are Woodley? '
'A village club near Reading.' came the reply.

'Well why doesn't he f*ck off back there ! ?'
