Jimmy the blue Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Lets make it that bit harder What is the connection between Harry Ramsden and a sweep..........................answers on a postcard only as it should take you ages but its purely English, unlike some I could mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I actually think I know this one as I shot a film near Leeds in a small town, cant remember the name of it now, but it held the first Harry Ramsden Fish and Chip Shop. I'm going to guess with Harry Corbet. Is the sweep in the question the puppet "Sweep" from Sooty and Sweep. Harry Corbet used to do puppet shows in the resteraunts. I think he was his cousin.

Oh fuck off you looked over my shoulder before Correct mate, well done. Corbett was actually his nephew. Harry H Corbett, who played Harold Steptoe had to insert H in his title because of Equity rules, when asked what it stood for he always replied hanything...................bit more useless knowledge for you Edited April 28, 2009 by Jimmy the blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
