Geocache Description:

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.


 
A parking waypoint is given below.
 

This cache is a puzzle + multi. You will need to solve part (i) at home then go to that location to solve part (ii).

In the series, Phyllis was a bit of a witch to poor Timothy and his Dad. Go to N56 06.GHJ W003 10.KLM to find her male equivalent and answer some questions about his animal pals.


Part (i)
The quotes below come from films where there is an odd, strange or weird Mum. Identify the films from the quotes given, then take the last digit of the year of their release.

G = I'm saying that I have seen that kid eat at least 15 boogers since he's been here and and I've got news for you, Jack, prodigies don't eat their own boogers.
Subtract 2 from this figure.

H = It's not like my mother is a maniac or a raving thing. She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes.

J = I may have been bad. I may have kept you chained up in that room, but it was for your own good.
Subtract 2 from this figure.

K = You got me into your house. You give me a drink. You... put on music. Now you start opening up your personal life to me and tell me your husband won't be home for hours
Add 1 to this figure

L = You were very, very bad to wake Mommie up like that. VERY naughty. I told you, Mommie has to be beautiful today.
Subtract 1 from this figure.

M = You're gonna be nothing. You're gonna be nothing. You'll never get to first base. All you do is type, type, type, type, type, type. You sit there typing all day like a fat little pigeon.
Add 2 to this figure.


Part (ii)– at N56 06.GHJ W003 10.KLM
Looking only at the animals at the front:

Number of letters in the name of the animal at the top = W

Number of squirrels = X

Numbers of letters in the name of the smallest animal = Y

Number of letters in the name of the largest animal = Z

 
A = X
B  = W - X
C = Z
D = W + Y
E = Y - W
F = X + Z
