Your support makes all the difference.Del Boy falling over in the bar is a timeless piece of comedy from Only Fools and Horses, but this man’s fall clearly was not scripted.
At The Arden Inn pub in Accrington this weekend a man who thought he was leaning back onto a pool table was sorely mistaken, and the whole thing was caught on CCTV.
The man proves his worth as a real-life Del Boy further still when he manages to keep hold of his glass.
Pub landlord Mark Duxbury, who uploaded the footage on to YouTube, wrote: “A customer moves pool table to make way for the band, another forgets and goes to lean on the table...awww.”
And though it's good, it's still not quite as good as this comedy gold
