"zebthecat 1:16 Wed Sep 20 One of the most pointlessly mesmerising things I have ever seen. Not just the whistling, the overly tidy, combed hair, the brown corduroy and the swaying bird in the background but the austrian porn star host in his over-sized garden chair. Thank you"

Was reading that he couldnt speak German but learnt phonetic versions of his lyrics and sang his hits in German. Seems he was more popular there than here and a regular on German tv Saying they liked him as a TYPICAL ENGLISH GENTLEMAN but the critics were less kind

"Used to whistle in his songs didn't he or am I confusing him with someone else? Anyway, RIP Roger Whittaker"

"Strangely I’d assumed he’d died a long while ago, seems like he was middle aged when I was a child, however he was far less offensive than some of this eras so called entertainers so RIP Mr. Whitaker."

"He stuck his finger up my bum once. Where do I go and get my money? The worst thing about it was him whistling while he did it, because it reminded me of my mum when she did it when I was a little boy. If it's all the same to you I would like to appear in silhouette while voiced by a posh actress. Can I have my money now please?"
