    If you look closely you'll see two paint cans and a paint bush on a stand next to the door so I'm guessing that the woodwork has just been sanded down ready for painting.

    I went to the Wimpy in Shrewsbury the other year. It was my first visit to one since about 1986 in Manchester!! When I saw it walking down the road I had to pinch myself, I thought I was hallucinating:)

    The last Little Chef was near the Scottish border I believe, we used to go in there on our way to Scotland, I always loved going in there unlike the service stations now which really dismal.

    It was probably be lost amongst the various plot lines that became a mish mash in it's latter years. By broadening the cast as it went on the situations got broader accordingly. Mrs Featherstone suffered badly from this and the firm but...

    I thought the episodes with Truly and Compo were very good - not the same without Foggy, yet these programmes did refresh the show.

    I don’t really watch anything post Compo. I have done but apart from the odd exceptions I just can’t get into it. For me it’s all about everything up to the end of the second Foggy era. The earlier the better for me.

    wstol posted the thread David Jason and the stutter in Drop in here to chat about Still Open All Hours.
    In the SOAH pilot, and the first few series, David Jason used a very mild stutter as Granville, which I think was to signify the way he was becoming like Arkwright. But in later series, I felt the stutter was not used. Does anyone...

    Berni Inns were always a treat. Anyone still got a Wimpy restaurant near to them?

    Around this time, Roy Clarke did another pilot - It's Only Me, Whoever I Am - starring David Jason. Wouldn't mind seeing that on YouTube or DVD.

    wstol replied to the thread If two of the "Third men" should ever have met?.
    When you put it like that, perhaps it wouldn't have been a good idea. Viewers was just starting to accept Aldridge, and bringing Wilde back for a one off would have been unsettling. There could have been a demand from viewers for more...

    Bell said in his book that the script wasn't very good, a rarity for Clarke. Wilde and he discussed it and decided to let it be re-done without Foggy, a plan that I think paid off as its one of my favorite holiday specials. I assume...

    (whispers: if anyone can remove this from the non-summer wine section, and bung it on the general discussion section - I won't shout at them...)
