Default "Don't do a war dance round it"

Am I the only person who remembers this comment?
It was said by Percy Thrower in one of his programs all those years
ago. My Dad latched on to the phrase and it has been a family saying
ever since and each time I see a TV gardener putting his boot round a
plant to firm it in,as Monty did last night, I "hear" Percy saying
it.

How dare you say in the same paragraph Percy Thrower and Monty?
Oh! you sod:-(.... see. I did it as well.
Percy was a gardener, Monty is not and never will be. I did it again!
Seriously though, my dad and grandad respected what Percy had to say.
