In a world full of Del Boys and Rodneys, we need more Mikes. The bloke who keeps the bar clean, the conversation level, and the hope low. He was the calm eye of the chaotic Peckham storm.
He wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t a villain. He was the guy who knew the price of a pint and the cost of a bad joke. That’s life, isn’t it? Just a long shift behind a sticky bar.
So next time you rewatch Only Fools, raise a glass to Mike. The man who served the drinks, absorbed the nonsense, and went home to a quiet flat with a microwaved dinner. Absolute legend. Cheers, mate.
