Miss Babs explained...
I fear that I have deceiving some of the regular bloggers. In referring to my esteemed producer as 'Miss Babs' I have led many to assume that she was a single girl when in fact she is a 'married wumman'. "Why do you refer to Mrs Babs as Miss?" enquires Dykerlad.
It's not really anything to do with her marital status. It's really more of a fond tribute to Victoria Wood's Acorn Antiques in which Celia Imrie played the posh lady owner of the aforementioned Antiques shop.
The strange thing was that our Miss Babs had no idea where the name came from and I was forced to confess. Not being a Victoria Wood fan she completely missed out on the joys of Miss Babs, Miss Berta and the marvellous Mrs Overall. ( Allegedly inspired by Mrs Mack in High Road!)
Thankfully she has not made the connection between the twinset wearing, posh bird of television fame and her trendier, younger and less posh self.
