She was 91. That seems impossible.

Richard is gone but Hyacinth and Daisy are still with us, I think.

That was the best show.

Of them was wonderful.

4. Hilarious show.

I still sometimes say things to my husband (who is not named Richard) like ‘Richard put on a tie if you are going out to check the mail’ or ‘Mind the bicycle, Richard’. Poor, poor Richard.

Rest In Peace, Elizabeth.

13. My father's name was Richard

and my European mother pronounced it exactly the same!
It was one of my husband’s favorite’s along with Benny Hill. We really enjoyed the Brit humor. He would call Mrs. Boooookay on the days when he said I was acting uppity.

6. Poor Elizabeth and her beaker

“Of course, I shan't let you have a beaker when you come back later for our more formal afternoon tea.“

9. Damn... we're watching it right now.

I have it on my media server. We watch it often.

She was one of my favorite characters. Of course they all were!

RIP 💐

11. I was so disappointed when PBS stopped running "Keeping Up....". I could watch those...

episodes over & over again. I adored the entire cast, but Elizabeth was one of my faves. I felt the same about Are You Being Served and Mrs. Slocombe. RIP Elizabeth.

12. Are You Being Served was hilarious.

Why are the British shows so much better than our comedy shows?

14. "Why are the British shows so much better than our comedy shows?"

I've asked that same question, and still don't know the answer. For me, it's the same with murder mysteries. Nobody does murder mysteries like the Brits.

15. My mother loved that show & would call me to make sure I knew when it was on

After she died when I was cleaning out her apartment I found a book that she must have bought as a newlywed (1946).

The title: "The Complete Book of Table Setting with Service, Etiquette, and Flower Arrangement". It included advice on "Candlelit dinners".

You don't know how much I wish I had found that book before she died, I would have had such fun teasing her about it. (And, she denied it, but there was a time she had Hyacinth pretensions.)
