"Bloody Nora" is another old phrase, but nothing to do with SW.

A song about quiet every day courage in the face of adversity, IIRC written about a child who had cancer:

Does anyone use the word oik anymore, or is it just me?

Wally was a popular insult after it was made famous in Only Fools and Horses but is hardly used nowadays.

Wait till you hit 50 ☹️

Isn't there a scene where Nora tells Wally that he's as daft as them lot and he replies "That's the nicest thing you've ever said"?

The insults in SW got me thinking, what words do you remember from the past which have gone out of use? Berk and pillock are two that spring to mind.

I just skipped through the first episode of DDtW on YouTube and it seems like "Duty Free" that was another sitcom set abroad but mostly filmed in a studio. At least "Benidorm" was filmed on location.

Did that company also supply Trigger with his replacement broom heads and handles?

Would a Yorkshire wine be called, Ay Up Sauvignon?!

Have they watched SW and got inspiration from Auntie Wainwright?!

Watched this last night and it's amazing how many times they said the name Mrs Jack Attercliffe, it must have been at least a dozen. Was Roy Clarke having a bad writing day or is there some kind of in-joke about the repetition?
