I think that was Mildred the welder, Dick.

Her that worked for McAlpine. "She had it writ in large letters all over her donkey jacket"

Phoebe Smethers - Compo attempts to re-connect with her, to make Nora jealous, in "The Suit that Attracts Blondes". She once bit Truly's leg and it turned septic.

Sorry this is somewhat off topic but I just had a Compo moment and smiled on seeing Truly mentioned in the above post. I bet Compo would have taken a real shine to the two arm wrestling ladies in the episode where the former Mrs Truelove sends her new beau to see Truly about getting some paper work finalized. I can just see Compo laughing it up and sinking some pints with them.

Mods feel free to remove this post if it mucks up the flow that was not my intent.

Edna who Compo picked up from the Labour Exchange in the episode Cheering Up Gordon.

Hi Rick, I think you are spot-on about what Compo's reaction to those ladies would have been!
(Have not re-watched this episode yet but as I remember a lot of the action took place in "The Monkey" - that was a really iconic pub).

Fragrance...………….She was building a wall if my memory serves.??

Amazing Grace

Was she the one that needed a shave worse than he did?

 

[dick]

My memory seems to be all over the place lately

Was she the one that needed a shave worse than he did?

That's what happens if you get "old age and poverty ,like wot I seem to have."

He got top marks in Shirley Steadman in school.

[Bora Natty]

Who was the one in the Blamire series, that he took to Sid's and bought her a plate of mushy peas?

 

[RickAns]

@Bora Natty ,

That was Liz Smith. A great actress who has been in quite a few things: The Pink Panther movies, The Vicar of Dibley, I Didn't Know You Cared, In Loving Memory, Lark Rise to Candleford... .

She was one in advertised for as a house keeper but she got him drunk and stole his new suit.

 

[Amos Hames 2]

Delphine Harris or was that back in the Blamire Days ?

 

[Onslow]

Speaking of Delphine, I wonder how much of a match Compo would have been for Mrs. Featherstone?

I think that depends on whether it was OAH Mrs Featherstone or the SOAH Mrs F? They could have been 2 different characters!

But I think he'd have been very fond of Mrs Blewitt
