On The Hearses

In Memoriam
Reg Varney
Stan from On the Buses

So, farewell
Then Reg Varney.

'Gor blimey, keep your
Hair on, Blakey!'
That was
Your catchphrase.
And 'Phwoar, coppa
Loada that new clippy!'

My dad says
You were
The first person
In the UK
To use a
Cash machine.

He heard that in a pub quiz.

E.C. Richard (29)

My dad played with Reg in a concert party at the Lido, Margate in the 50s. Watch this for a brilliant take of on On The Buses from the Bruce Forsyth Social Club:

Has anyone else noticed that Blakey the inspector is a dead ringer for Big Phil Scholari the new Chelsea manager, give him a peaked hat and you cannot tell them apart.
