I drove Jim's Rolls Royce when i was working in a hotel in the west end. He booked into the hotel Strand Palace, in the early hours, and asked me if i couldpark his car. I couldn't believe the mess inside with the ashtray over flowing, and litter all over the place, ut that didn't other me, it was an honour. This was around late 70s.

The calibre of people to whom Lee appeals is much higher than those who find Davidson funny. I find Davidson as funny as a diagnosis of metastatic cancer.

I was in a nightclub in Brighton in the mid 1970s and Jim was the act on the show. He asked me to dance before he did his act, and his driver asked my friend to dance. He was a real gentleman, and we had a good chat whilst smooching around the dance floor.

It's not at all easy to be a comedian so I give him credit for getting up there, also I like how he involved Charlie Drake on his shows and got him work doing pantomimes, I think Jim has a kind heart and his humor may be seen to be racial, but its just observation of characters, no where near as racial as some comedians I can think of. I can understand his comment about the Rolls Royce, and cudos for him going back to mum.
