The sketch was inspired by a real incident in a hardware shop in Hayes, which was submitted by the owners as possible material. Further inspiration came from the range of goods stocked by Harrington's hardware store, located close to Ronnie Corbett's holiday home in Broadstairs, Kent.

Wanted to give me iced hulahoops (welp), opted for outlandishly decorated crispy buns.

I mentioned Ronnie Corbett yesterday, and it occurred to me that some here on Mastodon who are interested in linguistics may not be aware of the famous 'Four Candles' comedy sketch from 'The Two Ronnies'.
A link to a video of the sketch is attached. The sketch, which first aired in 1976, is especially amusing to those working in dialectology and sociolinguistics.

I actually like this headline. It references a classic two ronnies sketch.
