Remember it well... The first ever 'reality' TV show... :whistle:

The greengrocer's shop they lived over and that the matriarch worked in was on the Basingstoke Road in Reading. It was run by a guy called Michael O'Sulivan (later dropped the 'O') who'd been my father's apprentice mechanic at a garage just off Slough High Street (behind The Eagle PH...) and didn't make the grade so became a shopkeeper. Mick had a second greengrocer's shop in Reading, and was also a partner in a car hire company with my parents, though this was wound up about the time the series was filmed... :thumbs:
