News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 20/09/2020

When the president said 'sock it to me'

News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 04/08/2019

» My apologies for unwittingly being the purveyor of fake news in last week's column, mistakenly crediting Goldie Hawn with the "sock it to me" catchphrase from the Laugh-In show.
