A tip of the hat

I've spotted the name Ronnie Hazlehurst many many times on the credits of so many classic British TV shows, but never really gave him the credit for the amazing work he helped create. Sadly Ronnie passed away yesterday at the age of 79

So, rest in peace there fella, and thanks for those wonderful, wonderful tunes you pulled from the ether (he never mentioned anything about a number 9 bus from Stourbridge btw).

and boy, did he leave a legacy, his family should be very very proud

Here's just some of the theme tunes credited to Ronnie

Some Mothers Do Have 'Em (the piccolo spells out the title of the show in Morse
Code!)
Last Of The Summer Wine
Yes Minister
No Place Like Home
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Sorry

Wish I knew morse code now!

btw - the wheels you've picked look nice. Doesn't that mean you've reach another milestone in your life? With the flash car parked outside aswell as having your own gaff?

Just don't start going to bars, or all hell will break loose!
