RIP George.
Rather strangely, I encountered an Indonesian-Chinese guy a few months ago who was actually called Arthur Daley - unfortunately as we met in a formal setting (an exam) I was unable to quiz him as to how exactly he came by that name. I almost expected the next candidate to be called Derek Trotter... |

Some of Daley's words of wisdom:
A few sovs
'er indoors
The world is your lobster
A nice little earner
A friend in need ...is a pest
He's an invertebrate liar
What's French for en suite facilities?
He must be on them stair rods (steroids) |

His characters were always rather similar to the Cockney characters in Dickens. |

I disagree. Do a search on Youtube for the ¨The Bounder¨. You´ll see George at his best. |

Arthur Daley on Thatcher: That woman is a financial genius. She sold to the people what they already owned. |
