He’ll be recovering. You know Benny…once he starts drinking he can’t stop. So whilst his family could just have A COUPLE OF PINTS and leave it at that, Benny will have continued on a BENNY BENDER until it knocks him out cold in his living room snoring.

Do you think that his father went up to Piccadilly Gardens after lunch with his phone on a stick? I’m glad that I didn’t go if that’s the case. Mind you if I were there then I could have sneaked Benny off to Dave’s Hot Chicken or the big Waterstones.

I would have loved to have given him my Cracker tour where I showed him various filming locations of Cracker so that he too could see all of the things that aren’t there anymore.

Yes he has, that’s why I thought that he might enjoy my location tour. I can remember him talking about the episode with Robert Carlyle in as Albie. Specifically the part where he’s 20p short for something and tells the shopkeeper he’ll drop it off later and the shopkeeper says no so Albie goes home, shaves his head, returns and stabs him.

Well I ran it through an inflation calculator but I don’t think it works. 4p in 1994 (when the episode To be a Somebody first aired) would be worth 9p today. Hmm…seems fishy. So then I remembered that Zoooad that you posted the cover of was 50p in 1992, so I ran that through the calculator…£1.12! Bargain, but I doubt it.

Do you mean these ones with two women in a flat who always had their boobly boobs out for no reason?
Striker was a real boring football strip. Like Roy of the Rovers only without the nice chew bar.

Yeah the two women who were always in the shower or had a towel on their head talking about going out and meeting boys/men -

I liked Boot!
Not sure what paper they were in, but the kind you'd kind all over - that's for sure -
