Whilst I realise the point was to explain, not excuse, I did feel we were invited to say 'not his fault' a bit too much.<br />'Happy go lucky' is an odd ball.. Leigh is usually lots of doom and gloom with a heart in there .. HGL is about an irrepressibly irritatingly always outwardly happy person. She is contrasted with a very dire driving instructor with well dodgy political outlook..
