Reminds me of Blackadder:
"Scum I was to that beat, nothing but scum. 'tis for my accent and my situation that I am condemned. 'tis for the want of better graces and the influence they bring, that I am to board this prison hulk."
"And for all them murders you done."
"Scum I was to that beat, nothing but scum. 'tis for my accent and my situation that I am condemned. 'tis for the want of better graces and the influence they bring, that I am to board this prison hulk."

If you want to relive that kind of thing, a visit to the Kelvedon Hatch nuclear bunker is a must. There are a couple of floors that are essentially just government offices from the late-1980s, furniture, stationery, computer terminals and all - an actual time capsule because it's all in situ.

Reminds me of the (probably apocryphal) story that Fred West used to play 'Yeh Yeh' to drown out the 'noise', much like Peter Cook's Mr. Jolly.

Love these - I recently discovered that my childhood high street in Potters Bar had an impossibly cool gas showroom that was demolished before I was old enough to remember it.

Just to let you know that I've got twin girls going to university, and they hate leaving behind their two cats. Luckily, your Pete is an uncanny composite of them, so I'll be ordering a couple of mugs once we've worked out which colours to have!
