[singlepic=31,320,240,,right]Here’s a classic exchange from Porridge, starring Ronnie Baker and Richard Beckinsale!

Godber: She had lovely…
Fletch: I know what she had lovely, this is her father you’re talking to, Godber, so be very careful!
Godber: Eyes! I was going to say. Lovely eyes.
Fletch: That’s all right then. …
Godber: She’s a canny old soul, my mum, but she only normally gives me a catalogue of family ailments.
Fletch: No news of the lovely Denise, then?
Godber: She don’t talk about Denise on account of she doesn’t approve of her - because she wears green nail varnish and doesn’t wear a bra.
Fletch: Sounds as if your fiance Denise and my Ingrid have got quite a lot in common.
Godber: Your Ingrid’s got nicer knockers.
