A big difference is that nowadays there’s so much more ‘culture’ out there. So many channels, so many tv shows. And the fact that nowadays we’re not all checking out what’s ‘top of the pops’. There are some songs that are big and you can’t help but hear them. But plenty of us manage to go though life now with zero knowledge of what’s hugely popular.

Just read an email from my colleague where she mocked my use of the phrase ‘Scores on the doors.’

She must be in her early fifties and I am not as old as that.

I refer to this sketch a lot. “Her only friends are fish”
Also the " You smell nice" “Gin” one gets used a lot.

I must have watched every episode 20 times over when I was younger and still sometimes now. I also use “Got to go to Wilmslow Ted, pick up some shoes” sometimes before I go out.

We took four cardboard tubes, the kind of tubes you’d find in an everyday house or home. We wanted to see if these tubes can support the weight of a human man. No.
