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.
