Seems his enjoyment of York was curtailled somewhat at York Racecourse.

He is called 'Heathrow airport!'

If Mr. Turpin were alive today, I expect he'd be operating a chain of motorway service areas, now in cahoots with the government, collecting various duties and taxes for them, too. Clearly, his former adversaries finally twigged how Mr T. was really onto a winner .
