      I think 'Zavaroni' and 'pussy' need to be inserted in that message to make it 100% accurate... although 'Tiddles' could also be added for completeness! (the name of her pussy).
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        HAS anybody had " Are you being served?" as a specialist subject on mastermind?

                And then there was the episode when she apologised for coming in late because her pussy was wet & she'd had to dry it off ...

                It's a wonder I'm here at all, you know. My pussy got soaking wet. I had to dry it out in front of the fire before I left!

                  Not quite Flossie, iirc - I think you may be referring to this exchange:

                  Captain Peacock: Good morning Mrs Slocombe, Miss Brahms. You're one minute late.

                  Mrs. Slocombe: You're lucky to have me at all, Captain Peacock. I had to thaw me pussy out before I came. He'd been out all night.


                  This reference is the one that sticks in my mind:

                  Mrs. Slocombe: [on the phone] Hello, is that Mr. Akbar? Mrs Slocombe here, your next-door neighbour. I wonder, would you do me a little favour? Would you go to my front door, bend down, look through the letter-box, and if you can see my pussy, would you drop a sardine on the mat?

                  They got worse and worse. Black Swan's discretion and politically-correct instincts are essential in relation to the episodes involving respectively removal men and firemen.

                  Still better than listening to R3 weekday 'Breakfast'... (to haul things back on-thread)

                    I think Mrs S's pussy was frequently wet - it popped up in many episodes.

                      You have the advantage of me, Mr Rumbold

                        Would seem from the latest comments on here that it isn't only R3 standards that have fallen!

                          Yes, TV comedy isn't what it used to be...
