So true!! Never thought that. Also if there is a risk of someone falling out the back of the truck, Wesley will be playing his music full blast !!!!

Unless you happened to have finished celebrating your anniversary at a pub and then are put in a trash bin to dry out, come to find out that the trash truck (lorrie) has just paid a call. What to do? Just stand up and sing!
I always thought the rock music he plays at full volume to be out of character for Wesley somehow. perhaps just over convenient to explain how he wouldn't notice things fall out the back etc. You're a car buff Graham, I'm guessing a Land Rover of that age wouldn't have even had a radio?
Open back trucks are usually reliable.
Vans usually have something wrong with them.

Yes, Ronnie Hazlehurst created the music that was supposed to represent rock music - without it sounding too much like rock music, if you see what I mean.

Given the show was about older , less mobile people can we term it Crock Rock.

Sorry; but when they used the loud radio gag in "Who's Looking After The Café, Then?", the music was "Pumping Iron" by Graham Preskett.
I wonder if that was chosen as it's similar to the BBC Top Gear theme?
Really, I did not know that, and have been misinformed .
Thanks for that.

"Jessica" (The Top Gear Theme) by The Allman Brothers Band was my starting point, I thought they had a similar feel ... but entirely "off route" as it were!!
.......Summerwineland may appear as a very peaceful place, but the libraries employ full time security guards!

A "dragger", much as you see on the doors of pubs and restaurants in Spain, is also employed at a particular shop where you are invited by this infamous "dragger" to enter the shop and cordially browse the stock with no obligation to buy when wham!! the door locks behind you and your trapped with purchasing something the only exit strategy available.

When the trio find a barmpot, they're around for a day then never seen again (with the very occasional exception where they're brought in to become a regular character!)

Over here Across the Pond, that strategy is used by sellers of time share vacation properties. They lure you in with great promises and then keep you there until you're worn out and to tired to resist signing on the dotted line. A great tip-off is when they absolutely insist that for married couples, both the man and the wife must be at the presentation.YIKES!!!
