 * Symbol possible vote.svg The length, date and general sourcing for this article checks out, and the speedy was I think rightly declined, so no issue there. But the hook twists reality beyond what would be acceptable even on April Fool's day. It's merely that the man apparently looks a bit like broadcaster Jimmy Savile (note Savile, not Saville as in the hook), and he doesn't appear to even be called Jimmy Savile in jest, merely 'Jimmy'. I think we need another hook. Benea (talk) 09:31, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Alt1... that Vic Flowers is considered as the unofficial leader of the Barmy Army?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Alt1 is good to go, though a minor point, I would write it as 'is considered the unofficial'. Benea (talk) 19:49, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 15:10, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
