It All Began With An Old Volvo Headlamp...

A well known computer & mobile phone giant is mentioned on numerous occasions in An Apple A Day.......

Auntie Wainwright or Arkwright could have invented Black Friday. Mon - Wed cans of beans cost 75p, Thursday they go up to £1, Friday - Black Friday/Cyber sale 25% off down to 75p, Monday they go back to 75p again.......

Entwistle mentions that the Mexicans invented custard in a later episode as per usual they all merge into on so to pinpoint it I'd say it was somewhere between series 22 and 31 ........

Wow triple points! Well done

I recall a latter episode where Nora is on the phone to a double glazing salesperson asking what she needs with a trip to Majorca, again I can't recall the episode....

Seymour mentions Ukraine in the cafe in Dried Dates And Codfanglers and an earlier episode I can't recall off hand. Interesting that his coat of arms of the looks like the Ukrainian flag upside down if anyone has noticed.

Bonus point for a county that doesn't exist anymore!

Can you name an episode where another country or town/city other than the UK is mentioned. List the episode and who said it, I'm sure there are quite a few....

As Oscar Wilde said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and that has a very similar meaning to plagiarise :)

In some of the Christmas episodes ie A Tale of Two Sweaters you occasionally see the more human side of her, ie she gives Smiler & Tom dinner. A good one I think Is Jeremy Quite Safe where she's panicking that there may be money in a safe she has. She is a proper skin-flint as we say in the UK...

Yes but do you wear a railway workers cap whilst you're playing with them????

I'd say more carpet rods than buckets..... :geek2:

Having watched Go With The Flow again I noticed the vicar is busy playing with his train set, also in The Simpsons Rev Lovejoy is also a fan of trains and even wears the workers cap playing with his set. This is some coincidence and I'm wondering if the creators of The Simpsons copied the idea...
