There's a YouTube video of when Summer Wine was inducted into the comedy hall of fame and Peter Sallis compares it to the weather forecast which I thought was quite churlish. Granted that SW is what's described as a gentle comedy, but...

Thanks. Coddy's Farm looks nice but the Old Bridge would probably suit us better having it's own restaurant.
