Seriously?

It's the first press of the year -whatever year it is.

Usually served chilled despite being red.
 
Neuveau means 'new'. It's the beaujelais from the present year. Hence, he asked for a new wine, from 1979.

Har de fuckin har.

Then he falls through a bar. Hilarious.

I can't imagine many people getting that joke when those programs were made. I didn't know what Beaujolais Nouveau is either (or give a fuck tbh :lol:)

No offence intended to the OP but I assumed it was some in joke. It's fairly easy to google beaujolais nouveau.

So fuck off

It is easy to google most stuff but I think he wanted to show why he was asking and the context. Fuck off back at ya!

okay, i take your point. i was wrong to assume that a 79 Beaujolais nouveau was a fairly obvious joke and there must have been something else involved.

But fuck off anyway

:lol:
I find it canny annoying on this and other forums that when someone asks a question, they are cast as thick.
It is usually thick people who do it in my experiences. They get a bit of knowledge and swing it like an axe at unsuspecting people.
Look at Mitty on here for example, cannot distinguish at all between information and knowledge. He IS Finchy

i was a canny bright youngun but the older I got i realised I wasn't as bright as I thought and there are loads of people who know loads of stuff.

I do hate it when people look down on others because of a lack of knowledge and it usually is people who are not that clued up.

I agree re walter mind:lol:

Ower lass didn't get it (no) & she was on the phone to her mate (no) & she didn't get it & neither did her husband. When you think about it, it's a bit of a pratty joke to have in Only Fools and Horses.

exactly, i know a fair bit, but its mostly useless in everyday situations and irrelevant.
im not the thickest on the planet like ill say that but im not the most intelligent either.
I remember useless stuff from years ago and push out important knowledge that i used in my job etc.
 
I only "got" the joke cos I lived in that there London in the 80's. Used to get arseholed on the stuff round about Oct/Nov time each year. Cheap as chips it was.
So I reckon the joke was a bit "regionalist" or maybe us lot up here were just too hung up on "scotch" and "exhibition" at the time to care.
