Would that be something like "It ain't 'arf 'ot, Mum" ?
Now, sadly absent, for reasons, 'ere.

Come to think of it, wasn't there a Gomer Pyle character in one of the Canonball Run films ?

He had a part in Cannonball II.

Possibly the most famous Cannonball ever...the train from 'Petticoat Junction' and 'Green Acres' television fame.
