    Bummer, she was brilliant.

    I have a photo of me on her front door step, and did a tour of compo's place while there.

    A sad day. All of Nga Yorkshirenui will be in mourning for a while....even if she was from Cheshire.

    Come to think of it, it's a bit creepy that you married a Batty.....

    What's the bet that Compo's waiting at the Pearly Gate just for a glimps of Nora's stockings.

    Never too many reruns for Last of the Summer Wine. I still miss Foggy. The epitome naïveté and innocence.
