Sir John Gielgud talks to John Miller
6: Time for Everything
' I think the English are so good at practical jokes, or they used to be. My mother once told me that W. S. Gilbert took them on his yacht and tied all their pigtails to the chairs and then said, " Look at that shark " and they all jumped up from their chairs and were nearly decapitated, which I don't think is funny at all.'
