There was a popular radio comedian during World War 2 called Robb Wilton.
His monologues invariably started, "The day war broke out, my missus said ter me".

Hay eventually had to be restrained by drinking companions Arthur Askey and Richard “Stinker” Murdoch (so-called because of his incontinence after seven pints).
However, according to Burke, Formby had his supporters, notably music hall favourite Robb Wilton (“The day war broke out, I ran up the swastika and shouted Heil Hitler”) and an unidentified member of the Crazy Gang.
Also on Hess’s list, the documentary claims, was another acquaintance of Formby; young Johnny Morris - then unknown to the public, but later to find fame as a children’s television presenter.

 The Third Banana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
As Aaron points out, this has much to do with the fact that Hay is always a real person.
Unlike Robb Wilton, another comedian who specialized in bumbling officialdom, Will knows deep down inside that he's been promoted far beyond his capabilities, but he feels that he's sharp enough to bluster his way out of trouble if his failings are exposed.
His subordinates, insolent fat teenager Graham Moffatt ("Albert") and venerable rascal Moore Marriott ("Harbottle"), if anything even more dishonest than Hay himself, are quite happy to rob and flmail him, and each other, if the opportunity arises.
