Hot Toddy is the porn name taken by Labour politician John Prescott.
His pictures were famous for his pretence of trying to keep warm, and his contract stipulated he should never remove his string vest, however acrobatic the scene was.

John Prescott really wanted to stand for Parliament in his home town of Rhyll. Prescott encouraged people to use the anglicised version of his name, as the true North Wallian/scouse version was affecting sea levels when the local tried to say it.

John Prescott is nothing more than Eric Pickles in a wig and effecting a fake Notthern Lights accent.

After his failure in his home region, John wanted to reinvent himself north of the border, but by then, people were used to Pre-Scott, and Post-Scott was seen as provocative to the SNP.

The press stud was invented in Preston. Not the fastener, but a reporter for the Preston Chronicle who fancied himself as a man about town.

Preston North End renamed themselves Preston East Enders for the 2003/04 season in honour of Sir Tom Finney's brief stint in the soap in September-December 2003. He played Walford drugs kingpin Harry Knackers - and with such effortless aplomb that he's widely reputed as a key inspiration behind Breaking Bad's anti-hero, Walter White (whose surname referenced Finney's beloved Lilywhites)

EastEnders was BBC's answer to Coronation Street. However, a fact finding mission to t'north left the producers bewildered and frightened of men in dirty macs and cloth caps, who ate whippets and raced scotch eggs. They returned to the safety of London, conforting and welcoming with its gangsters and moped robbers.

The speculation about Prince Harry's parenthood has been revealed as a misunderstanding due to Charles attempting to be a new man.
Apparently Harry filled his nappy on the way out of the maternity clinic, and Diana told Charles to go and change him, so he went back to the maternity unit and exchanged the soiled child for a clean one.

The Oxford English Dictionary is being banned because of its imperialist links to the slave trade. Students and writers will have to make do with its replacement, Mein Wörterbuch by Adolf Hitler.

It is technically illegal in the UK to 'state' your date of birth, as you are not in a position to provide first hand evidence. Generally, the information on that date is provided by people that have been proven to have lied about many other things, such as santa claus and the tooth fairy.
