Word, MJ. Golden Girls was a great show and I so loved the exchanges between Dorothy and Sophia.

BRITISH COMEDY ACTRESS MOLLIE SUGDEN DIES SHE MADE SALESWOMAN BETTY SLOCOMBE UNFORGETTABLE IN BBC'S 'ARE YOU BEING SERVED?' Tuesday, July 7, 2009 Section: LOCAL Edition: STATE Page: 4B Associated Press Illustration: PHOTO:1
Caption: 1. Sugden
Dateline: LONDON
LONDON British comic actress Mollie Sugden, who played the formidable saleswoman Mrs. Slocombe in the BBC's long-running comedy series "Are You Being Served?", has died at age 86.
Sugden built a career playing strong-willed, overbearing women - she played a snobbish mother in "The Liver Birds," a comedy about two women sharing an apartment in Liverpool in the 1970s - but it was her role as Betty Slocombe that made her a household name.
As the bossy saleswoman who dominated the underwear section at the Grace Brothers department store, Sugden delivered double entendres in a perfectly outraged voice, shaking her tightly curled, dyed hair. The show ran from 1973 to 1985 and at its height attracted audiences of over 20 million.

Thank you for posting Maherjunkie.
She was like a British institution - they don't make them like that anymore.
