Quick idea for a new thread.
Triggered by the OTB meet expertly organised by Gene for 14 April.
Occurs to me how the scripts include a relatively high number of catchphrases, common dialogue for each character and language which is almost a time capsule and unique to OTB.
As an example Arthur will often say 'Don't talk wet' usually when disagreeing with Stan.
There are of course plenty of others - so might help inform some of the banter at the meet.
Cheers,
Stan

A couple of quotes from Holiday On The Buses:
———————
Jack: Ere, what do you like?
Red Cross Nurse: You know, a bit of the old shake, rattle and roll.
Jack: That can easily be arranged, why not come with me then. Old Blakey wont teach you anything, not here or anywhere else!
———————
Jack: He's gonna be annoyed, he's got it but it's not much use to him.
Stan: Story of Arthur's life.

Or...
Nurse: Oh, he's got a large one for me!
Jack: She's right, as regards the ice cream
Nurse to Blakey: I want to go upstairs, you get a better view up there
Jack: You don't get a bad view from down here!

From Holiday On The Buses
"Jack: I've been telling the girls about that mystery tour we're going to take them on tonight.
Stan Butler: What mystery tour?
Jack: You know, that one at 9'o clock, on the beach.
Stan Butler: Oh that mystery tour.
