Caches inspired by the TV series “Sorry!”
“Sorry!” was a BBC sitcom aired in the 1980’s and starring Ronnie Corbett as Timothy Lumsden. Timothy is a man in his 40’s who still lives at home with his domineering mother and henpecked father. Timothy would like nothing better than to find love leave home but he is quite shy around women. His mother is very much against the idea of Timothy moving out and always manages to manipulate Timothy into staying at home. Timothy’s friend Frank and his sister Muriel continually urge Timothy to stand up to his mother, but it never works out.
