I liked Elsie Tanner. She was all fags and smouldering.

For the love of all things holy, I don't want to know anything at all about Peter Stringfellows meat.

I am Margot. Fact.

I'm really more Bet lynch. Especially the leopard print.

I see Pag as Betty Turpin and ry as Annie Walker

Yes, in the top 5 I'd say.
Marilin Monroe
Judy Garland
Kylie
Meg from Crossroads
Hully from Mumsnet

Pagwatch · 22/10/2011 10:14

Yes. She is Meg.

All serene but hiding angst. Meg is also a massive gay icon.

No, where?

So Hully is a Gay Icon? Wow.

I think I get it Hully. Can you see Bella's snail?

BellaDonnaSansMerci · 22/10/2011 10:02

With a dog, a snail and a girl with huuuuge shoes.

rycooler · 22/10/2011 10:02

Hmm - I see Hully more as Meg from Crossroads. A wonderful woman but hiding immense pain - her life ended in tragedy of course ( I think they sacked her, killed her off in the motel fire or summat (( memory a bit hazy ))) She became a gay icon,
but as you never watched it you won't have a clue what I'm talking about so I'll go with Celia thingy from AA.

BellaDonnaSansMerci · 22/10/2011 10:02

Is it a crossroads, Hully? All I can see is a roundabout...

Sarah.

The point is that I am at a crossroads and I see a motel. Like Crossroads Motel with Benny. Geddit?

I have a gardening apron. With special pockets. And a little bag from the RHS for gardening tools.

In my defence my Mum gave them to me. I have never used them. I hate gardening.

gobbolinothewitchscatinboots · 22/10/2011 09:55

I too am on my phone.

But can someone please add garden kneeling pads and compost heaps.

TheVermiciousKnid · 22/10/2011 09:51

Never mind Crossroads. The list, the list! Keep up with the list! No wonder Hully is in despair if you lot don't keep up with the list.

ScarahStratton · 22/10/2011 09:50

'Soup of the day, Sir?'

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 22/10/2011 09:49

Yes, that's what I meant - that's my only point of reference. Is Hully Mrs Overall or the Celia Whasserface character do we think?

rycooler · 22/10/2011 09:43

Acorn Antiques was a tribute to the brilliant Crossroads.
