Would You Like a Hotel Owner Like Basil Fawlty
I was reminiscing about the good old days with a friend the other day. We got chatting about some of the fantastic old comedy shows that we used to tune into back in the 1970’s
She was saying that one of her all time favourites used to be Fawlty Towers, in which John Cleese played the main character.
I had to agree that this show was British comedy at its very finest, and certainly caused a great amount of laughter, something that nowadays seems to be sadly lacking.
We got onto the subject of who starred in the show and actually had a bit of a row about John Cleese and his real life wife. My friend was adamant that John Cleese was married to Prunella Scales, who played his wife in the show, but I knew he was in fact married to Connie Booth who played Polly the maid.
It’s weird that such a stupid chat can get so out of hand, but you know what it can be like when 2 women both think they are right, neither of them like to admit that they might be wrong.
Naturally in the end we decided the best way to find out which one of was right was to Google the answer. Well of course it was me, which didn’t go down too well with my friend.
She said that perhaps I should think about booking a self catering Torquay holiday. I said that I would rather visit some of the hotels in Devon in the hope that one of them might actually have a real life Hotel owner like Basil Fawlty.
If you fancy a holiday in Torquay there are plenty of great activities you could join in with. One of my friends who organises bowling holidays for her Club was pretty impressed with Torquay during a recent visit. In fact she loved the place so much that she has already booked up for 2 bowling tournaments next year.
I wonder if she is hoping to get a hotel owner like Basil Fawlty, at least there would never be a dull moment!!
