As I haven't watched the programme since the days of Ena Sharples, I
can't say whether or not you're right. On the other hand, are you sure
you're not just failing to hear an almost elided "t'" ("She wants t'go
home") being used to a more emphatic pronunciation of the word "to"
which is almost identically to the word "too" (two words which, much
to my surprise, are commonly confused in usenet posts)?

I am sure.

I'm just enjoying a very special ale now, and it's so good that I
thought it merited a bit of advertising hereabouts and in AUE which I've
added.
It's Fuller's bottle-conditioned Vintage Ale, produced in small numbers
and each bottle individually numbered. Look for it in Waitrose at
Christmas time, each bottle packaged in a little box. I just can't tell
you how brilliant it is.

There are a number of bars in NYC that serve Fuller's Extra Special

If you're hinting that I may have an interest in Fullers or Waitrose, I
can assure you I haven't. I simply enjoy recommending good things
occasionally. But if you prefer to disbelieve me, feel free!
