have been meaning to ask, I saw in the factiods about QPR section of the Ipswich programme that QPR got a mench in the hit US sitcom in the 1970s.
I have never heard this before, or If I have I had completely forgot.
Can anyone elaborate in this?

I think there's something about that on Indy R's, they had several threads about TV tie-ins on various occassions.

Impersonating another limey? I've always wondered why the yanks call the English "Limey"??

the english used to import Lime for building and disposal of corpses to new york in the early 19th century. It was a term coined by the dockers about the english.

I thought it was to do with the Sailing ships and sailors eating limes to prevent scurvy?

This will be interesting. Good to see the Hoops get a mention in an American comedy and in a good light.

The episode was first shown in Jan 1978, so us winning the cup wouldn't have been ludicrous but I guess they picked us because we had a funny name

Sabas, you the man, just posted this on Indy R's as they often have threads on there about TV & QPR references.
