A cosy nest for fans of gentle British comedy (punnery, word play, spoonerisms, self deprecation and silly noises).

Do some pretend porridge and while away the hours with like-minded souls, lamenting the passing of comedy giants Benny, Spike, and now Ronnie Barker.

<sigh>

And now, it's 'goodnight' from me.

I know there is some division of opinion over whether Benny Hill is in the same 'class' as some of his peers, but for his Fred Scuttle character alone I think he deserves to be called a comedy giant.

Oh, I saw "motel" in the title and thought "Crossroads"

Do fans of gentle British comedy occasionally find themselves on the road?

This here for the bed & breakfast minded?
