Are You Being Served star passes away
I am unanimous when I say that I am sad that Mollie Sugden passed away yesterday. Known as the pithy Ms Solcombe who was obsessed with her pussy (cat), Ms. Sugden provided me with incessant laughter as I watched the British comedy year after year and show after show. Ms. Solcombe could knock back a drink or two with the best of 'em.
Betty Solcombe used to say " I am unanimous" when she thought she was
right about a particular subject or matter. She was the biggest flirt on
earth. She seemed to change her hair color--sometimes to pink, purple and multi-
color swirls--more times than they had shows. I loved Ms. Solocombe
when she'd say "weak, weak as water." Again she liked drink something
strong, strong as whiskey. Farewell Mollie Sugden and thanks for the amount of laughter you gave to me.
















She was one funny actress!
