Daft Limmy said this about Barry Chuckle and the BBC didn’t get the joke
Anyone who knows Daft Limmy – or goes on Twitter whenever anyone famous dies – will know that he has a habit of tweeting something like this.
Had the pleasure of meeting Barry Chuckle at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Except it turns out whoever wrote the BBC’s news story about the late, great Barry Chuckle, who has died aged 73, isn’t a Daft Limmy fan.

It’s not the first time someone’s taken a Daft Limmy tribute seriously. Sky News did this when Peter Stringfellow died.

Still, it could have been worse. It could have been the Daily Mail.
