I was reminiscing about the good old days with a friend the other day. We got chatting about some of the fantastic old comedy shows that we used to tune into back in the 1970’s
She was telling me that one of her favourite shows used to be Fawlty Towers, which course starred the fantastic John Cleese.
I had to agree that this show was British comedy at its very finest, and certainly caused a great amount of laughter, something that nowadays seems to be sadly lacking.
We got on to talking about the stars of the show and actually had a bit of a row about John Cleese and his real life wife. My friend was adamant that John Cleese was married to Prunella Scales, who played his wife in the show, but I knew he was in fact married to Connie Booth who played Polly the maid.
It’s strange that such a silly conversation can get so out of hand, but you know what it’s like when 2 women think they are right, nobody likes to back down and admit that they are wrong.
In the end we made the joint decision that the only way to find out which one of was right was to carry out a search in Google. Well of course it was me, which didn’t go down too well with my friend.
She said that perhaps I should think about booking a self catering Torquay holiday. I said that I would rather visit some of the hotels in Devon in the hope that one of them might actually have a real life Hotel owner like Basil Fawlty.
Of course nowadays in Torquay there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied. One of my friends who organises bowling holidays for her Club was pretty impressed with Torquay during a recent visit. In fact she loved the place so much that she has already booked up for 2 bowling tournaments next year.
I bet she is secretly hoping to have a hotel owner like Basil Fawlty, at least she would be assured there was never going to be a dull moment!!
