There is no greater form of wit than British humour, this post is dedicated to some of the greats who just so happen to have said some quite funny stuff in their time.

When the Queen Mother was alive, she was notorious for being overly extravagant, her daughters The Queen and Princess Margaret used to tell her off for spending so much money. She had an army of gay butlers that waited on her hand and foot, and said without her gays, she would have to do things for herself. I guess you had to understand how extravagant she was to understand… she famously had her entertainment budget cut by the Queen because she ordered too much caviar.
