Hyacinth Bucket's

I’ll have what she’s having.

Some people may only know Patricia Routledge for Hyacinth but she had a long, impressive career in the theatre, and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. She said that she enjoyed playing Hyacinth because that was the type of person she couldn't stand!
