Poor old Reg. That lecherous laugh he had. Still 92 ain't a bad innings.
I used to fancy Olive
Nah, not really......(!)

Another figure from my youth has passed on.
On The Buses was probably his most well known series but a few years earlier he was excellent in The Rag Trade too.

Indeed, poor old Bob Grant who played Jack the conductor took his own life a few years ago.
I saw the lot of them in a Pantomime at Catford Town Hall (now Lewisham Theatre) in the 70's. Well Stan, Olive, Jack and Blakey anyway.

That picture is from the movie Holiday On The Buses. There's a brilliant scene in which she dives into the pool loosing her bikini bottoms and leaving Blakey to comment, "It's like the moon coming over the mountains". Cracking stuff - they don't make 'em like that anymore.
As for Reg, I was really sad when I read that. Can't believe he was 92 though.0 -
I saw Reg a couple of times in the Lamb in Leadenhall Market. He was a mate of the landlord. They even had his picture behind the bar, along with John Wayne. Now there are two contrasting celebrities!
As a genukne fan I shall be showing Holiday On The Buses as a tribute in my cafe/bar today. That should drag the punters in.
RIP Reg.0 -
First person to use a cash machine I believe....
That's true. Another dull Mondau morning fact, Ernie Wise was the first person to use a mobile phone. . .0 -
