ABSTRACT

Doss Chiderdoss (A. R. Marshall), the 'Pote' of the 'Pink 'Un', produced, every week, something between a half and a whole column in verse, of wit, wisdom and caustic comment on current affairs. The ability to do that (even without lapsing into rhyming slang) is enough to make a man immortal. Neither 'Doss Chiderdoss' nor the Pink ' Un should ever fade from public memory.
