A Nice Way To Begin Your Monday, Folks.
I blame having parents who used to allow me to watch Are You Being Served? with them when I was a wee lass for my disgustingly immature sense of humour. My dear housemate Nat and I just searched for some clips from the show on You Tube and then proceeded to laugh hysterically at the following two snippets.
Nat’s gone to bed now and I’m still watching them on repeat. And marvelling not only at the fact that there were scriptwriters who were paid to write such ridiculous lines involving the word “pussy” but also that they were able to come up with at least one or two insanely juvenile Slocombe-pussy-based gags per episode.
It is a testament to a work ethic and dedication to wordsmithery I can only dream of, as evidenced by my use of “wordsmithery” just then. For this reason, I choose today to salute the writers of Are You Being Served?… and I hope you take a moment to give them the love they deserve too.
WE ARE NOT WORTHY.

Absolutely love Are You Being Served :)
You should see if you can find some clips from the follow-up show called Grace and Favour - very funny, plus all the mandatory Tiddles remarks!
Mrs Slocombe: Captain Peacock, have you seen my pussy? Captain Peacock (with one eyebrow raised): Not recently...

Wordsmithery? Any relation to Alan Smitheree?
