Yeah forgot about the 'Provident man' Kiz, he was my old man's best pal.

No coal man around our streets because it was a mining village and we all got free coal.

As for Steptoe - I do a mean impression of both;

"Here, Harold, I know I'm gettin old, but I ain't gorn yet... Not as knackered as Herculese.... I want a bird Harold".

"You dirty old man... You're bleeding filthy you are." -- Magic series - a classic.

By the way, I love your honesty.
