For me it is Car and Garter where he is the one convinced to attempt the latest crazy stunt which Compo initially avoids, and ultimately does (it appearss Sid has more bravery to try the racing rather than face Ivy - a wise decision)...
I think he was brilliant. He (John) got his character so spot on. The nuances perfected. Absolutely top tier actor. Strangely I was watching him the other day in Serenade For.... episode and realised how excellent he was. Truly missed.
I think personally Sids death left a massive hole in the early days. He played a great foil to the trios antics and of course on times joined in. Plus he had some great lines . What was youre favourite Sid Moment.
And Charlie had a think, and he said, "Look, Fred
I got a sort of feelin'
If we remove the sealing
the junction will still function
"All right, " said Fred, "stand back lads"
With his crowbar gave a mighty blow
Was he in trouble...
Council street cleaner who is responsible ( :fp: ) for my road amongst many others is a lazy xxxx.
He quite literally waddles ten feet picks up a piece of litter with a litter picking thingy and puts it into a barely able bin liner...
House over the road from me had scaffolding put up about 3 weeks ago, Monday 6 council workers in 4 council vans came and changed the down pipe! 6 of them on the scaffolding chatting and making phones calls for an hour and a half!
The early ones with valves probably were the worst!
I heard about someone's family getting one as a hand me down from a richer relative, but their Dad didn't like the smell of dust burning on the valves so as soon as they could afford...
