Hyacinth Bucket

It is pronounced 'bouquet'. ;)

Great share, not seen that before. Were the flowers sold like that before the show? Wondering if maybe that is how Roy got the inspiration for her name.

Back in the mists of time, it was a given that girl babies were given names of flowers. So Roy just went with the program, not only Hyacinth, but also Rose and Daisy. My aunt was named Lillian.
 
Has me wonder if guys back in the day were named after trees or something similar. Ash, Douglas Fir, Larch... Oops, Larch is a Monty Python tangent. :)
