I'm a ginger-minger and have autism, and i'm always first in line to poke fun at myself. Comedy if the last true medium of free speech, and the truly open people will take light humour as it is.
I consider OAH to be the lesser of the two Barker legends, Porridge being undoubtably the greatest comedy of all time. But for me, OAH is hilarious in it's depiction of British life. In a way the shop stood for what Britain was like and still is. Dilapidated, old and stubborn, while the rest of the world (or the rest of the street) advance and change, both technically and morally.
