Was it Bandit form Stoke on Trent. The lady having driving lessons outside the fish and chip shop. Didn't she crash into a florists display across the road?

I don't know if you still need a platform ticket in a UK railway station anymore. You did have to pay at one time to go onto the platform, even if you didn't actually go on a train.

Oh dear. That means I will have to try a pub, cafe, or supermarket. How few and far between are they?

Is Richard Lumsden who played Foggy in FOTSW any relation to Geoffrey Lumsden who played Captain Square in Dad's Army?

There was a policeman near the road crossing in Stuart's leg, when the trio and Sid were carrying the ladder to the cafe. I wonder if he might have been a real policeman, there for crowd or traffic control?

Well, when I have to go, I really HAVE to go, so it's a good job our town has plenty of toilets, and all within quick walking distance of all parts of the town.

I've never been told to buy something every time I use the supermarket toilets. They don't seem to mind.

From some of what I've heard Holmfirth carries on as though LOTSW never existed.

Yes, she was. Can't remember where I read it, though. Barry's Mum was mentioned once, in Uncle of the Bride. When Barry didn't come home the night before his wedding, she rang Edie to see where he was.
