A flake in your ice cream is known as a 99 in the UK....A 99 ice cream is a soft-serve vanilla ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake bar inserted into it. The origin of the name is uncertain, with theories suggesting it's from the length of the flake bar, its number on an early menu, or its association with the elite 99-man guard of the Italian King. In the olden days we used to call a number provided by British Telecom that would give you the exact correct time 24/7.

So a bus conductor isn't the driver. Back in the day there was someone on the bus to issue and check tickets. they were conductors. Nowadays we have ticket machines so you only ever really see conductors on trains these days😊

Malcom Kumar

Sorry but how have you guys not even heard of the talking clock??? Google it 🤷

Killermcknight

We did Google it, but it didn’t really clear up the confusion for us 🤷🏼‍♀️

tricky D77

the talking clock is that you used to be able to phone a number for the time and all shes done is call the american talking clock costing them a lot of money

Craig Day

She phoned a premium number, Being charged a silly amount a min so their phone bill will be hugeeeee as the phone was on hold for days ,Hopefully that makes sense

Killermcknight

Ooooohhhh okay yes, thank you. The day thing still wasn’t making sense lol

Mark Sanders

Talking clock is exactly what it sounds like, back in the day you could call the talking clock to get the exact time, but it was a costed call. So for her to call the talking clock in America was an international call which in the day was very expensive so she left them with a hefty phone bill.

Mark Griffin

Yeah talking clock is an automated service where the time is repeated every minute so you could set your clock or watch. Talking clock costs money.. American talking clock from the UK would cost a packet

Nothinghalo

How many times did we say on ice cream man. 🤣🤣🤣 she is not happy

William Stewart

Maybe because it's not a thing in America?

Malcom Kumar

The talking clock has been in America since 1927. Also in this episode, del specifically says that she phoned the talking clock in America. After checking, it seems Americans called their service "Time of Day". the words "talking clock" is still pretty self explanatory as the other commenters have said.

Simcoe

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the talking clock is a talking clock and snogging is kissing.

Rodney saying "one more, she keeps the match ball" is a football reference, if you score (a hatrick) 3 goals in a game, you get to keep the match ball. It's an old football tradition 👍

+m G

When Del say's "brownies" he is referring to the (brownies aka I think girl guide's) which is a younger scout group just for girls and the younger boys group was called (cub's) and the even younger mixed boy's and girl's group was called (beaver's) 👍

+m G

T looked a bit confused as to what they meant, so thought I would mention it.

+m G

Rodney and Grandad's gesture meaning Del is under the thumb.

William Stewart

Yes she phoned the talking clock in America in a comedy sitcom and as you just said it doesn't exist disproving your own point, of course its obvious to someone who knows what it is.

William Stewart

And the American version was discontinued 20 years ago so it's not that strange that they wouldn't be familiar with it, there's British people the same age as them who probably wouldn't know what it is

Malcom Kumar

Not going to get in an argument so have a nice day my friend

Killermcknight

Ahhh yes, thank you. I was going to ask in that moment if he meant like the Boy Scouts but I just let it go haha

Killermcknight

Ohhhh! Thank you. Thought it was some form of sign language.

Pork scratchings is a packet of pork rind

“On the third stroke the time sponsored by Accurist will be 9:59 and 20 seconds…” that’s what our talking clock sounded like in a slightly mechanical voice

Kieran B

A bus conductor isn’t a driver they collected the tickets

Kieran B

We just assume that four days has passed in the time before they left and came back As others have said she called the talking clock, which was still a thing in the late 90s at least here and she left the phone connected with an automated service - that also happened to be an international call. (Edit: apparently the talking clock still exists here, if you dial 123 from a landline - which was the old number too). Apparently it was called TIM because the number used to be 846, which apparently aligned with the letters. Stephen is getting very creative with these American criminals on the end of the line 😂

William Stewart

I don't want one either I was just pointing out I think it was unfair, all the best

Killermcknight

Oh so for four days it was connected to the talking clock? Not just a one time thing??

Kieran B

Yeah it was connected since she left

Killermcknight

Okay now THAT makes sense. We were so confused - thinking that one day after they left, she set it up for them to get one phone call 4 days later. We didn’t know what the big deal was, or really what was going on. The previous comments helped a little (with understanding the service, at least), but this one completely clears it up. Thank you!

Kieran B

You’re very welcome!

If youre attempting to watch all of these, ensure as you get from series 3/4 onwards you are keeping to the date of release. As they go into the specials the story follows on.

Smithy Craft_beer_chap

The match ball...in football (soccer) if you score 3 times in one game its called a hat-trick and you would keep the ball that was used in the game (match ball) as a memento

Julie

I wonder where Grandads other television came from. They sold everything in the last episode. Including 1 of his tv's.

Julie

You 2 might not have had corned beef, but it is soooooooooo nice in mashed potato. We call it Corned Beef Hash. It is sold in tins/cans, but fresh in a packet is nicer.

Julie

Del and Rodney had trouble scraping £2000 together for a statue worth just £17. So there's no way he can afford a house.

Julie

Pushing the thumb into the palm means he is under her thumb. Basically she rules him and not the other way around.

Julie

The talking clock is a number you ring to get the time. (It's an automated voice.) No one really uses it now because we all have mobile/cell phones. But it was rougly about £1 (or £2) per minute. Probably around $2 to $3. She rang it 4 days ago and it was an American one. Which means their phone bill will be astronomical. She basically got her own back for him dumping her. She left the phone off the hook, so the call was going on all that time.

Julie

If you have written a letter and it wont all fit on page one, you put P.T.O. at the bottom. It means PLEASE TURN OVER. So you know there is more to read.

Darren Pearson-Hatton

Yeah most new gens wouldn't get the times. Though I was born in the late 80s, even hitting the early 90s, dial in services were quite common, you'd call a number for a service and pay a small fee. Only they were a bit like spam mail were most services were extortionate and where the initial connection would cost more then the per minute connection, so say something like £2 connection fee and then 10-20p every minute thereafter but could be anything like upto £1 a minute for some premium service. I am sure it was more expensive in the 80's because you pay for infrastructure but that was mainland rates. International rates would be exceptionally expensive. So this particular service just told you the current time, but clearly it's an international call, so international rate would apply. For 4 days. Even in that era would of been like £1/10 or 20, multiplied by 60 x 24 x 4 = between £500 and £1000 depending on rate. As a millennial, I got told off a few times for calling services in my gaming magazines that would help you out of a jam. I didn't realise the connection rate was so high and after a few calls that bill was already pushing boundaries 😌

“I’m gonna leave that alone” 🤣🤣 you two make me laugh as much as the show most of the time!

Julie

Did you know that Roger Lloyd Pack who plays Trigger, is also in The Vicar of Dibley? The 1st episode of The Vicar of Dibley starts off slow, but as soon as the Vicar enters, the whole program jumps up. I think you two will like it. There are only 20 episodes in all.
