Hey, Compo was one of my heroes!
But Sable, do you want Sean morphing into him anytime soon?
Anna - your description tells us he's well on his way, since we know he owns:
sweaters that look like he used them to protect his compost heap
trousers that could only benefit from a mouse (or ferret) running up inside them
a shed in his garden - and a home-brewing kit
a ten-pack or so of fags in his front pocket
And definitely the twinkle.
Hmm.
Ladies, I guess I'll accept that if I can appreciate him when he looks like a derelict coming off a week-long bender, I could appreciate him in a flat cap and flannel trousers . . .
I yield !
yoicks.
