So, raise a glass (or a mug of tea) to Uncle Albert. He might have been a fictional sailor, but his spirit lives on in every family member who tells the same joke at every gathering. He’s the reason we forgive the boring stories and the burnt toast.
Because in the end, Only Fools and Horses wasn’t just about getting rich. It was about the people who stick around when you’re dead broke. And nobody stuck around quite like that old rascal, Uncle Albert.
And if you ever feel like a bit of a burden, remember: Albert accidentally capsized a ferry once, and his family still loved him. You’re probably doing just fine.
