'Dipstick' is creme de menthe of insults

..SAYS DEL BOY

- STEVE HUGHES

SIR David Jason's favourite Del Boy insult is "dipstick".

The actor's Only Fools And Horses alter ego Derek Trotter is famous for his creative putdowns of his dopey younger brother Rodney who he called a "plonker", "wally" and "dipstick".

Sir David, 84, has told how he loved the Cockney terms writer John Sullivan put in the sitcom, but his favourite was dipstick.
