Mollie Sugden, the TV actress who played the cat-obsessed Betty Slocombe in Are You Being Served?, has died aged 86.
In memory of her most famous work, I present you with the zenith of British humour:
The mere sight of my pussy drives him mad
The central heating broke down and I had to hold my pussy in front of it. It was frozen solid.
I had to get up early to take in my pussy for its six month washing
Did it work as well for you, Mrs. Slocombe, inviting blokes into your garden to play with your pussy?
That’s easy for you to say! You don’t have to look after my pussy!
This year I’ll be sending everybody a picture of my pussy!
I told him that at four quid for a box of twenty, anybody who gets a card will have to be satisfied with a look at my pussy.
This last week has been murder on my pussy! By the time I get home, I’ve barely enough energy to stroke the poor old thing.
