Most of them, but Arthur Lowe was great. How can you call yourself British if you don't like Dad's Army? It's part of the fabric of our great nation, like tea, football, coats for dogs, chip butties, Christa Ackroyd's undercoat and shit cars.

The Tonge was firmly in cheek, as I think you will already know. That is pretty exaulted company for a fat lad from Shropshire, who's significant achievements are to play for us 300+ times and die of drink at 42...

PS I know it's 'tongue' too...

PPS Christa Ackroyds undercoat is fashioned from the purest silk taken from the cocoons of the silk worms high in the valleys of the Eastern Himalayas. They are harvested by the purest monks of the local monastary and woven by the tiny hands of small children. It is the strongest fabric known to man, approximately three times that of Kevlar. It is believed to be 'virtually' indestructable, but it is also sadly impervious to 'Vanish' and she has been told not to eat chips and gravy until given the go-ahead by BBC Chiefs. Technicians are working tirelessly to find a solution...

My Nan worked with his daughter. She (the daughter) brought in her Dad's old shirt to work once to show everyone.

I've got the thingy that goes on the bar pump

It's not a "thingy", it's called a "barmaid", a "serving wench" or "luv".

Unless you mean the pump clip.

Thats brilliant! Where can you get it?

I voted for Fatty and it's no wonder he was such a good goalie

"His football career started when he was spotted while he played for Blackwell in the Derbyshire Cup tie at Ilkeston Town. He made his league debut for Sheffield United in September 1894. He led the team to three FA Cup finals - winning two - and a League Championship."

I mean the pump clip, and if anyone calls me serving wench or luv they are likely not to get served or the beer on their heads.

It's a Holdens beer and only a guest so its hit and miss in Holdens pubs, we had it in our pub hence why I got the 'pump clip'.
