"Cold Store" (originally aired 20 March 1975) was a third season episode of Are You Being Served?. It seems everyone at Grace Brothers is either ill, afraid of becoming ill, or pretending to be ill: Mr. Lucas is pretending to have a cold (in order to get the day off), while ironically, Mrs. Slocombe does have a cold, but refuses to go home; Miss Brahms has just had a flu shot and doesn't want to catch Mrs. Slocombe's cold; Mr. Humphries has injured his back, and Mr. Grainger has a rather severe GI infection, causing him to spend most of the day in the gents'.
MISS BRAHMS: In me bum.
CAPTAIN PEACOCK: I think Sister means, at what establishment?
MISS BRAHMS: My doctor give 'em to me.
CAPTAIN PEACOCK: Your doctor gave them to you, Miss Brahms.
MISS BRAHMS: No, he didn't; he charged me eight quid.
MRS. SLOCOMBE: I'm not having a whole day's pay docked, just 'cause you've got a jacksie full of vaccine.
MR. HUMPHRIES: They're all marked alphabetically: "B" for braces, "G" for gloves--
MISS BRAHMS: Where's "A" for 'ankerchiefs?
MR. HUMPHRIES: They're under "H" for haberdashery. Are You Being Served? episodes
