Reply to comment by shimi_shima in TIL the BBC released a 'Green Book' in 1949 to define comedy guidelines. Among some of the banned topics were jokes about fig leaves and vulgar use of the word 'basket'. by morecharts

When my great aunt was in primary school she was on a trip one day and unexpectedly saw her father (affectionately known in the family as dirty Bertie) pushing a pram with their nanny. Turns out he had a whole other family and she still talked about the 'baskets' up until her death a few years ago. Had never heard it anywhere else!
