Worlds Colliding: Did Uncle Albert End The Beatles?

Hmmmmm....this is interesting: 

On January 30, 1969, right around lunchtime, The Beatles made their way to the rooftop of the Apple Corps building for an unannounced performance. It was the first time in more than two years that the band had performed live, and they didn’t miss a beat. The Fab Four spent 42 minutes testing new material out on a crowd of onlookers. Eventually, a bank manager called the police to lodge a noise complaint—and the plug was pulled.

My bold....now, who do we know had been a bank manager for decades before miraculously landing the role of a lifetime:

That's right, it's only Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses!!!! I mean look, I'm just saying, do we know for sure it WASN'T Uncle Albert who called the cops on that January day?

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't Paul McCartney have a big hit a few years after the rooftop concert, titled Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey?"

Sigh. YES, faithful readers, yes he did - and it was even featured in an episode of Only Fools and Horses that focused 100% on....ta-DA! Uncle Albert!

I will now sit back and imagine how much your little minds are blown.

I'm making it official: besides sinking 5 battleships - 2 during wartime! - Uncle Albert did, in fact, end The Beatles.
