A very good point mrcoffee. My take is Spikey is a Amits former butler/house keeper, think Paul Burrell to Princess Di. At one point inseparable, sadly Spikey was sacked in disgrace as they found some onitors and a few silver spoons that he’d stolen from rye parlour. A sad but true turn of events who hasn’t managed to resurrect his man servant career ever since so spends his time mainly watching re runs of countdown and spamming the countdown board.
