Who remembers watching this program before a quick wash and shave and then nipping out to the pub to meet your mates for a few pints and a laugh. Fools and Horses was a part of British Culture.
Totally priceless, without doubt one of the very best comedy series ever on U.K. T.V. That said , I met David Jason's mum some many years ago, as I had work to do on her house, her front room was dedicated to David, and was wall to wall trophies , awards and honours to him. To say she was proud was an understatement, (I had no idea at first who she was bless her until she said "do you know who I am"?), I of course had not a scooby doo, then told me and led me to the front room, there she said I am David Jasons mum! Well how wonderful and so very very nice , a truly lovely lady, and she made great cup of tea, and a nice slice of cake.. Bless these stars of the bygone era and the parents that brought them into the world. A hearty thank you all. An example of the happy days gone, never to be repeated, the days of community, and comradery ,the days when all of us knew all of our neighbours and helped and shared and shared alike!! I was a contractor way back then all over the East End of London, Westminster South London Havering and Barnet, and the indigenous people were the best of the best, never went short of a nice cuppa and a slice of home made cake. In the hot summers a glass of iced lemonade, Boy oh boy they were the days.
Trigger: Yeah, I've had a few days off work with it as well.
