Phoebe Smethers, Babs - The Suit that Attracts Blondes

From "Beware of the Ogelthorpe" Gladys Myrtle Hobson (Doreen Patterson was mentioned but as someone sat upon by Coggy Duckworth)

Nice list, Sue! That's 10 so far by my count. I think you're correct, Codfanglers. There was also Regina Unsworth of Throstlenest Farms, who we didn't get to meet until after Compo's passing - cheeky devil!

1. Mrs. Simonite - "The Mrs." - went off with a Pole (mentioned in several episodes) 2. Susan Anderson - Se 1 Ep 1

I just saw Edith Clegg on Coronation St (actually in a quick scene with Kathy Staff in her tribute, Kathy Staff - Wrinkles and All). In the 1962 episode, Kathy's character turns to the store clerk and asks, "Are you Mrs. Clegg?" Whereupon the clerk replies, "That's right". How about that? I...

Absolutely brilliant! Gave me a chuckle on this rainy afternoon in Oregon. Well done, that man! Thanks.

Okay, I admit I don't know the answer to this one, but I'll ask it anyway - for the sake of an argument over the answer... ;-) Question: Over the entire series, how many women was Compo accused of dating, bothering, or chasing? (including Nora, of course) It seems like there must be a lot of...

I hope it's okay for me to jump into this game with my own little quiz just for the fun of it. "If old man Flowers can do it, anybody can." Now the easy bit: What specifically did old man Flowers do? Who said it about him? In which episode? Please forgive me if this has already been asked...

Clegg (nearly whispering): "Wally, we wanted to keep it a secret from Nora in case she invents 14 reasons for you not doing it." Wally (frankly): "Well, it won't be a secret now. She be listening. She's always listening!" Nora (crashing into the room with yard broom at the ready and yelling...

Wally: "It's 'opeless. Don't put yourself at risk..." ("White Man's Grave")

Did Michael Bates actually know how to play the piano? That is, was it he who played the piano in s2 e02, "Who's That Dancing with Nora Batty Then?" - or was it dubbed in? Just curious.

The horse knew! ("The horse knows where he's going")

Was that the widow Dilhouley?

Amen! Speaking of weather and such, one of the reasons I just LOVE LOTSW is that it looks and acts so much like the Willamette Valley, Oregon, where I live. My favorite LOTSW episodes are summer episodes - beautiful. My most distant ancestor with my surname came from "England" - though I have...

Hate to break it to you, George, but Jesus probably thinks yer a pillock, too. He's just too righteous to admit it out loud. Just sayin'........

Just ran across another - a "budgie" - re: The First Human Being to Ride a Hill, in which Clegg says, "It's like being suddenly savaged by your budgie." This after Howard acts forcefully to get his bike back from Pearl - and just before Howard appears with a bicycle inner tube wrapped tightly...

Wally and Nora are in a bank when a fellow wearing a mask bursts in with a gun, "Everybody on the floor! This is a stick up!" In his nervousness and excitement, the bank robber momentarily drops his mask and puts it back on again. He pulls up to a bank teller, "Did you see my face?" he asked...

98 percent of the lawyers give the rest a bad name.

Wally Batty is driving down the expressway. A policeman pulls him over and says, "Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the sidecar a mile back?" Wally says, "Thank God, I thought I was going deaf."
