I think this is the first ever episode I saw, back in the mid 1980s when I was a knee high. It had me in stitches then and I laughed out loud seeing it now. The bit when Harold explains he’s going to connect the hot water, through his dad’s bed frame and his dad’s reaction is priceless. Thanks very much.

In the 20th minute, Albert explains what his parents were like and tells Harold that compared to them, he’s got it cushy. It’s the same for every generation. I was born in 1980 and the world that I grew up in has completely changed. There used to be greencrocers, Fish mongers and even an Iron monger and a rag n bone man with a horse cart, in Lewes East Sussex. Everything was very Olde World back then, now that’s all gone and forgotten about. My grandad drove a land rover that had a manual crank starter and although we had heating in our council house, it was expensive for us and it either didn’t work very well, or roasted us alive. I especially remember the pollution from old cars, buses and lorries. I near choked to death when they drove past me. That was the last vestiges of the old hard way of life. Now life’s too easy and we’ve all gone soft that’s why Britain’s going down the tube. All we need a vast powerful navy and then we can go and take everything we need from others. But that’s not PC and you’d be branded a racist saying that today. Imagine what the Victorians would think of us today, they’d be ashamed and wish they’d never allowed us to wreck their world.
