Del Boy yuppie to their face. Del Boy is not always honest when expressing his love for his family and others, but this side of his nature is shown in numerous episodes, such as "Diamonds Are for Heather", "Strained Relations", "Dates", "The Yellow Peril" and "Little Problems". His care for his grandfather ("Grandad" – Lennard Pearce) is shown in "The Second Time Around", when Grandad confesses to having Trigger phone to tell Del that his fiancée, Pauline Harris, killed her first husband, Bobby Finch, by poisoning him. Another example of this care is shown in "May the Force be With You". Faced
Healthy Competition partnership with his friend Mickey Pearce. Del and Grandad warn Rodney that Mickey Pearce is not to be trusted and has no business sense, but Rodney dismisses their claims. Del warns Rodney that going it alone means he has to pay for everything himself from now, but Rodney goes ahead with it, insisting that he can prove he is just as good as Del. Rodney raises his revenue by informing Del that he owns one half of "Trotters" to which Del, after slight hesitation, gives Rodney money from the pile (though clearly less than half, in keeping with his character).
