‘I’d be James Cricket Bond – the man with the golden wellingtons!’
Jimmy Cricket was quizzed about cars in a recent edition of The Northern Echo newspaper in north-east England.
Among other things, the well-known entertainer, 70, was asked about his first car (a white Triumph 2000 which cost him £130) and how many times it took him to pass his driving test (four!).
And when questioned about his dream car, the Northern Irish comic said: “It’s got to be an Aston Martin and I’d be ‘James Cricket Bond’ – the man with the golden wellingtons!”
Jimmy is famous for his trademark wellies, which he wears on the wrong feet.
The area The Northern Echo covers includes Darlington, Durham, Middlesbrough and North Yorkshire.
