The wit and wisdom of Sir Norman

On the passing of Sir Norman Wisdom, I was reminded of a story told to me by an acquaintance who sells performance cars and who used to sell Smart cars.

One day, Norman Wisdom came into the showroom to look at cars and, as he was being show round, had one of the new Smart cars pointed out to him by the salesman.

In the style of a true comic legend, he looked at the car and then turned to the salesman, before announcing: "To be honest, it's a bit big for me."
