Re: Witty Ripostes and insults....
In the early 50's whilst being trained as a "Booking Clerk" at Accrington Railways Station can recall a very obnoxious customer saying "And can I get back to York in a day" to which the clerk who was training me replied "You should be able to "Dick Turpin" did and there were no trains in those days".
