Bollocks to Barbera Windsor.... she told my Dad to "Fuck off" when they were both 17 year-olds in Stoke Newington.... I've never bought into her brand of "Cockney Sparra" 'gawd love a duck' I know me own' ....she hung around with the Kray Twins amongst other shady types ffs.... and was a right cunt on Eastenders (there are several famous stories about her time in there, including how she unleashed absolute hell on a trainee Hair/Make-up girl who dared ask when she wanted her wig fitting) "It's not a fucking wig you stupid bitch, it's an 'airpiece!!!" Verbatem! Told to me by someone working on the show at the time!
... but that's by the by....
There you go, I'm amongst the -1% minority of Brits who DON'T regard her as a National treasure.... Soz!!!
Sorry she's dead and all, Alzheimer's is an awful affliction.... but like it or not, horrible people who pretend to be lovely people die all the time!! Add her to the list!
