R.I.P. actress Anna Karen, aka Olive in On The Buses.
"Ooh, Arthur" - that was her catchphrase.

[Steve Russell]

Who can forget that scene when she was in bed with a jar of pickled onions

She was born in South Africa. ‘Olive’ was married to ‘Arthur’ and in real life to Terry Duggan who appeared in one of the film versions as ‘Nobby’.

Anna had an interesting start to her film career when she appeared in ‘Nudist Memories’ in 1959!

Bernard, speaking of Jamaican music, I just saw (on ShepherdsBushW12.com)
that a reggae shop in Askew Road has had a blue plaque put up, to reflect it's influence
on London's music scene. Your neck of the woods, I believe?

[Steve Russell]

I was brought up round the corner Steve & know the shop....
