Some of you old farts would remember Mother and Son. :lol:

Did Ruth Cracknel drive a white Mini in that show?

I haven't watched it for yeeaaarrrssss...... but I vaguely recall her driving a white Mini.

(For the record, she lived next door to my grandparents, which was 1 street away from where I bought 'Pops'. I used to see Ruth all the time, not driving Pops of course....I miss Pops.....) :cry:

Yeh Arthur (Gary McDonald) drove a white convertable morris minor, can't say i ever saw Maggie (Ruth Cracknell) ever drive. Still on of the funniest Ozzie TV shows EVER.

the only link i know between ruth and a mini is that her son owned an austin super deluxe which was previously owned by a sydney doctor who bought it for his nurses to do the rounds in whose name is Queenie owned currently by none other than our very own steve and mikey

A Morris Monor? Is that similar to the Cluban?? :lol:

A very funny show, but one I haven't seen in ages. Speaking of mothers and sons, did anyone watch Some Mothers Do Have 'Em?? I used to love that show.
