Can't believe they used to show that on primetime TV back then.

Before the watershed as well - mind you, it was the most appalling rubbish, so I don't know who was watching it

My grandparents. They loved a bit of innuendo.

Have you tried bleeding the radiators?

The first IT manager I worked for in the mid 80s always referred to his cat as pussy. It was when he was needing a new feline entrance and started on about pussy flaps that we all lost it completely. He was always extremely old fashioned and professional - referred to the managers as Mr/Mrs and made us youngsters feel like we were at school, so still not sure whether he was having a laugh or genuinely didn't appreciate what he was saying.

I think the luvvies were having a laugh at the expense of a certain subsection of society wrt to Are You Being Served. I genuinely don't think middle class people of my parents' generation got the joke - otherwise it would never have been allowed to air.
