Sayings

[pelican]

who is famous for saying
1. "Can you hear me mother?"
2."The day war broke out...."
3." Can I do you now Sir?"

[shaneystar2]

1. Sandy Powell .... an English comedian best known for his radio work of the 1930s and for his catchphrase Can You Hear Me, Mother?

[shaneystar2]

2.Was Mrs Mopp the cleaner in ITMA ..but I don't know who played Mrs Mopp offhand ...or do you just want the character?

[JudgeJ]

These phrases all stem from wartime radiuo and music hall acts:

1. "Can you 'ear me mother" was Sandy Powell's catch phrase. Sandy was a music hall star and entertained the troops in WW2.

2. �The day war broke out my missus said to me ..�� was the beginning of Rob Wilton's stories and monologues.

3. "Can I do you now, Sir?" is a famous catchphrase, from ITMA (It�s That Man Again). It was said by Mrs Mopp (Dorothy Summers), the hoarse-voiced charlady or "corporation cleanser", when entering the office of Tommy Handley (who was the star of the show).

[Octavius]

er... as a member of the younger audience, wasn't the three R's one of Bob the Builders catchphrases? Although I am sure environmentalists must have used it long before him.

[vehelpfulguy]

You lucky People was Tommy Tinder. I know because he was on the board at Fulham football club years ago when I was a supporter.

She who must be obeyed - was this not Minder ?

Ohh Ahh Missus was Frankie Howard

[shaneystar2]

Noooo ...'Er indoors.... was Minder .Arthur Daley used to say it.
She who must be obeyed is definitely Rumpole of the Bailey.

[Mikeyd2]

She who must be obeyed apparently is from "She" a Rider Haggard novel (and Hammer Film) taken up by Rumpole of the Bailey.According to this...
"She" written by Henry Rider Haggard, first appearing in serial form in 1886. It was first published as a novel in 1887. Henry Rider Haggard dies in 1925.
