in the years before the war, the papers were full of editorials complaining that these soft kids of the 1930s would go to pieces if there was another Great War
I actually didn't know that - but it doesn't surprise me. Like how the "Peccavi" gag being a Punch joke that now gets repeated as though Napier said it. Anyway, I don't know if Livingstone knew one way or the other.Hang on, just because it wasn't said on air doesn't mean it didn't happen: Cassandra in The Daily Mirror used it. Wouldn't Livingstone have referenced that rather than the legend it had been said on the BBC?
Next you're going to tell me that Henry Morton Stanley didn't say "Doctor Livingstone, I presume?"
I've always thought about Livingstone's response.Oh no, he pretty unambiguously said that loads of times. I mean chances are he didn't come up with it until several weeks after he met Livingstone when he decided to jazz up the story but he certainly said it.

"Who the fuck else could I be, Man? I'm the only white face within 500 miles!"
I know that, but how long had Livingstone been out there? I suspect his patience for such witticisms was running low.thatsthejoke.jpg
