Cultural references the ‘young uns’ don’t get

[Peculiar23]

Called someone at work ‘Victor Meldruw’ and got looked at blankly. God, I’m old
Anyone else ??!!!

Get down, Shep!

I've got a cunning plan.

I'll have a t(ea) please Bob.

'I thought you were dead'.

'Well that's no reason to hassle me on the toilet!'

'Make your own fucking tea!'

Carrot cake, carrot cake, have ye any nuts? The carrot cake contains no nuts.

"Shirley, what are you doing, you look like a dog's dinner!"

These are small…and those are very far away

Talking to a much younger colleague about her new home, referencing carpets, I said she needed Shake 'n' Vac.
Felt ancient having to explain it to her...

I've been known to say about/to DS
He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
And - Naughty, naughty, very naughty.

When abroad we'll often say the weather is 'Scorchio'.

Seconded!

If you’re into old radio shows (which were all very naughty but they got away with it back then!) then also listen to The Goon Show, The Navy Lark and I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again, which had several of the Monty Python team on it.

My kids are really into black adder at the moment. I suspect the good stuff cycles back around.

Yesterday a colleague aged 30ish didn't get "the money was just resting in my account".

A friend at work messaged me in utter despair a few months ago because he had just spoken to one of our grads who had nevee heard of the A Team!

My Mum's cousin was the copywriter on that ad (he is a keen flyfisher in real life!).

I use 'beastly mud and oomska' rather a lot, still.

Think it’s a military thing, but not sure many young ‘uns would get the reference -

When asked if you want a cup of tea/coffee replying “a Julie Andrews” or “a Whoopi Goldberg”

Nah, Luton Airport

Lovely… milky milky

I know nothing, I'm from Barcelona.

This is a local shop for local people. There's nothing for you here.

You ain't seen me...right

...Which was nice.

There is a Swansea.

Quarter of an acre and room for a pony

Candle Light Suppers

I’ll have a p(ee) please, Bob 😏

I also say ‘nice one Reginald’ if someone parks first time in a tight spot. I don’t actually know who Reginald was or why he was praised for his parking skills...

Also referring to speeding drivers as Stirling Moss.

I don’t get any of these!

They often play them on BBC Radio 4 Extra in the middle of the night.

(Spot the menopausal woman who can’t sleep 🙄)

Ooh, you are awful but I like you...
Would never be allowed today

The ants are back, Ted.

"You haven't got an MP, Rick. You're an anarchist!"

"It's all done in the best possible taste!" 😅
