Crows don't croak - they "caw"

As in the Milligan classic Puckoon - early in the book we get the line "Balls said Milligan - Caw said the crow". Later we have this line: "cor said Milligan - balls said the crow"

I'm shocked. Bob Crow was a fighter and a man of character. Whatever our political differences, and there were many, this is tragic news.

Bob fought tirelessly for his beliefs and for his members. There can be absolutely no doubt that he played a big part in the success of the tube and he shared my goal - to make transport in London an even greater success.

It's a sad day.

Have to say Boris' statement on Crow's death was class

Quote from: Boris Johnson

"Bob fought tirelessly for his beliefs and for his members.

worthy:   to Boris that is
