It's fun wearing Pros items in the UK because everybody knows why they are. Here, not so much. That's a super meeting!

Wearing a hooded top with Bodie and Doyle on it has started many a conversation . The vicar at this service certainly had much to say about Martin *g*

Thankyou.

That just cracked me up! Definitely one of those, 'When-you-know... you-know' conversations. People that get it get it soooo well. People that don't get it... they're never gonna get it.

The vicar definitely got it especially when it came to talking about Martin Shaw, i would love to have turned the conversation in Lew's direction but i'm afraid Martin was the hot topic until i had to remind her that the service was due to start soon.

Thankyou.

Ha ha.....the vicar was certainly having a good time that's for sure. I'm afraid poor Lewis didn't get a look in, it was a one way conversation *g*

Thankyou.

It's amazing how Bodie and Doyle get mentioned by the most unlikely people. I had an electrician here recently and when he saw one of my posters of B and D he said he was a fan of the series, mainly because of the Capris. He was a Capri owner himself. I'm sure he wasn't born when the series was first shown! I also had a chat about various episodes when a BT engineer came to do the broadband - he too saw the posters on my walls and admitted to being a Professionals fan. Knew all about Bob Rocca's book.

Just by wearing a Bodie and Doyle hoodie has sparked many conversations from the vicar at the rememberance service to being served in the supermarket. It is such an iconic show that everyone seems to want to talk about it.

Thankyou.
