I know a woman who is just like Hyacenth Bucket.
(prounounced Boo-kay,according to Hyacenth) If you ever watch PBS, you've probably seen an advertisement for "keeping up appearances". I was just watching my "Brit Coms" and I was reminded of her.If your not familiar with Hyacinth, she is so status symbol conscious, she doesn't make a move without considering what the folks next door will think, and how can she impress them this time? This show makes me laugh, because I Do know this woman.She is so self-centered, she doesn't see what is right before her.She looks down on her less fortunate sisters, and talks up the rich one, who has such money, she has a "country house, with tennis courts and room for a pony." She is totally embarrassed by her brother- in- law, whose an average Joe, and doesn't seem to have a job.Still and all, with all her pretentiousness,Hyacenth gets herself into the same kind of silly situations that Lucy used to,but unlike Lucy, there is no Ricky to get mad at her. Richard is gentle and kind,and only tries to go along.No, Hyacenth's punishment for her own stupidity, is the extreme chagrin she brings down on herself. And, I laugh every time her nieghbor's brother runs the other way when he sees her coming, because he's afraid,"She's going to sing at me.I just know she's going to sing at me!"
