Blakey was one of the great characters of British comedy, despite what you might think of On The Buses. Also saw him on-stage at The Young Vic a couple of times. A real favourite of mine, RIP Blakey.
Waiting for a "football stadium" bus in Genoa....supposed to run from one pm, we stood there like lemons for half an hour with nothing happening. Then a few Sampdoria fans started appearing together with a bus inspector complete with clipboard. He got serenaded with "BLAKEY, BLAKEY WHERES THE BUS" (English version).
I'd love to say he turned round and said "I hate you lot" but he sort of grinned and moved in the general direction of away. You may scoff, but the bus came round the corner ten seconds later.
Seems like the Charlton life readership are slacking.
BOO A PUBLIC FORUM USED BY MANY PEOPLE OF DIFFERING EXPERIENCES USING THIS AS A PLATFORM TO PERHAPS EXPRESS EVEN A SLIGHT DEGREE OF GRIEF OVER THE DEATH OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING BOOOOOOOOOO
I still think I do great impersonation of the great comedy actor. RIP the legend that was Blakey. Get that bus out. !!!!!
Remember me, me old dad and me brother trying to do the impression when we lived at 648 WoolwichRoad, like a scene from The Royal Family I expect pmsl, great memories

Shame about last of the summer wine.
Used to shop in the supermarket at blackheath standard where I worked on Saturdays many decades ago
