The turned up noses among all of the women was so very clever when it comes to the casting department for that BBC series. Not to mention Awkrighht's frequent mention of his West Indian produce in that characters lines too.

I know exactly what you mean Hana. Of course the characters are exaggerated for comic effect but the atmosphere and vibe of the time feels real. I was last in England in the mid 90's and experienced a more modern Britain but it was still very British. Hopefully it's still like that now, 30 years later.

I suffer from the exact same gripping Nostalgia😊. Stick the transistor Radio on, and the whistle kettle on the stove, make a pot o tea, and a couple of crumpets, with marmite, and put another shovel of coal on, and cozy up round the kitchen table, with it's plastic gingham Tablecloth. It's so British. I miss bread and dripping, and hot roasted Carlins, and Piccalilli on freshed boiled ham, and slices of fresh white crust that were still warm and melted the butter. And me Nannas mint imperials, 💚
