Turned out Floydy lived in the same village - they became close pub-mates. Utterly unsurprisingly he was a right fucking laugh, apparently.

You're forgetting Fanny & Johnny Craddock
One of my brother's friends was their carer in their final days - when she went to their house for the first time, there was a god-awful stench in the front hall. Some investigating later, it became apparent that the smell was coming from a large number of carrier bags all over the place, that were filled with the (now totally senile) Fanny's shit.

What a brilliant story, eh?
