  5. I haven’t spotted Milton Jones in anyone else’s lists.

  16. But he was an American so obviously not British, I often wonder at the state of the education system in these islands?

  17. Only did his own I think. Monkhouse wrote for loads of comics too.
     
  18. Max Miller...The original "Cheeky Chappy".

    He was so good that Roy "Chubby" Brown nicked his act and his stage outfit FFS!
