    Fawlty Towers star Prunella Scales dies aged 93

    I’m sure that many Brummies watched Fawlty Towers as was done in the US and Canada. Sunday evening was always a time for a good laugh and wanting to be a part of or identify with Fawlty Towers.

    Yes, we and my uncle moved from Aston to Epwell Rd, across the road from each other. The only thing I rember while living there is that my mother went to Amy Harris ladies hairdresser. Later 1958 another aunt and uncle moved to Atlantic Ave in Kingstanding.

    Kynochs

    Where are they as a producer? Economy could be a consumer which means the profits go elsewhere. For example: US/China Japan &, yes the UK could be the 5th largest, metrics would be helpful. Not sure but is the EU considered one Economy?

    What 3 Words

    My bad! So according to Andrew and Pedro’s analysis 171,000 words are in common use and only 40,000 are used by w3w, less than 25%. Not much crowding there, plenty of open room if the numbers are correct.
