      Agreed. It says Best Bits, but it’s pretty much ALL Bits!

      I used to cringe everytime I saw her.
      Nobody ruder or more
      opinionated.
      Not quite as shocking now that she's been gone for awhile but still someone I'd never want to know.
      Yikes 😬

    Met her at a Manchester hotel bar about 15 years ago. With my friend plucked up courage to ask for an autograph. She agreed, but before I could suggest a photo she said, magnificently, "I only do photos outside, and I'm not going outside". I cherished hearing he say that more than I would any picture. When I looked at the autograph, she'd written, helpfully "Maggie Jones (Blanche)". I still have that piece of paper.

    An example of gas lighting. There is a theme of older men in soaps with long work histories, getting jobs for minimum wage in supermarkets. I've noticed this in a couple of different programmes - the same theme and tackled in the same way. The blokes tend to view this as honest work, whilst their mother in law might view this work as undignified. The women are characterised in this instance as old fashioned and out of touch - especially in terms of being sensitive to the needs of older men. These needs are seen as unnecessary and even elitist.
    Seems to me this is propaganda to slowly introduce the notion that our western economies are now primarily service orientated, that jobs will be harder to come by and also that older workers are no different from younger workers in their employment and should not be treated with any additional respect based on their accomplishments. In other words a dystopian socialist future awaits (or is really already here).
