Jeez this is horrendous

The weird thing is I was watching an old EastEnders clip on YouTube the other day,when aunt Sal and family visited the Mitchell's party to see baby Louise.

I might have to dig the old On the Buses boxset out tonight. Arthur and Olive are one of my all time favourite TV couples.
