    Funniest gaffes/blunders

    Commentators, politicians, celebrities, Royals etc are all well-known for making gaffes when speaking in public. Any really funny ones to share?

    My favourite was -

    "The bowler's Holding, the batsmen's Willey."

    Sadly, this turns out to be a myth and I am looking for a new favourite.

    Ok, so it's not a gaffe, but I hope it makes you smile.

    " Seaman's come out..all over the place.." from a FA cup game between the mighty Man Utd and Arsenal a few years back...incidently, Giggs proceeded to round him before firing over the bar with the goal gaping!

    Prince Philip :

    During a visit to China, Philip met with a group of British students:
    “If you stay here much longer, you’ll all get slitty-eyed.”

    While talking to Lord Taylor of Warwick who is a black British politician:
    “And what exotic part of the world do you come from?”
    Lord Taylor: “I’m from Birmingham (England)."

    On the problem of travelling the world in comfort:
    “If you travel as much as we do you appreciate how much more comfortable aircraft have become. Unless you travel in something called economy class, which sounds ghastly.”
