"Keeping Up Appearances" question

In KUA Onslo(sp?) (our Rose's husband) is always wearing a ball cap with the capital letters "FH" with "F" above the "H" on its front. What does it stand for?

I've often wondered, but I have never been near a keyboard before when I had recently seen the show.

It stands for "Fulton Hogan Ltd."

I am astonished that I trawled a KUA (as they would have it) fan site for that but Google is a mean mistress in searching for the truth...

Happy now?



Oh, it's "OnsloW" by the way...

Very happy...thanks MarkF. It never occurred to me that a fan site would have what a hat meant. I have such little faith.

Just in passing, what is "Fulton Hogan Ltd" anyway?

And he's Daisy's husband, not Rose's. Rose lives with them.

A New Zealand construction company, oddly enough.

New Zealand?!

Heavens, our Onslow does get around for a bone-idle fellow, doesn't he?

As a Yank, I'm always extremely amused when I see him wearing Green Bay Packers clothing. Who would think he was a fan of American football?

And the fact that he reads a book on the principles of physics as he loafs in bed! Heh!
