Sad.
I have a photo of him with my Mum taken in the 1970's - he in his "trademark" tracksuit and holding a big cigar. A real character. RIP |

He was somebody we grew up with. Whether that be in the 60s or 70s or even 80s.

As we they have tried to silence the forum from the very latest news concerning Newbury then reverting to news that does not concern Newbury must be all that is left!  -------------------- Vexatious Candidate?

QUOTE (user23 @ Oct 29 2011, 04:44 PM) True. What's the connection with Newbury though? The connection to Newbury is that people in Newbury are interested in him and other national worldly news. Are you suggesting that people in newbury are so shallow that anything outside these boarders either doesn't, or shouldn't exist; or we shouldn't care or shouldn't talk about them? These boards are forum boards for people in Newbury to discuss whatever they want; and that as been the way since these boards were first formed. Not everybody is as shallow as you User23. |

Well, that is a good point, however, I saw it in a Newbury paper (i.e. a paper bought in Newbury) so I suppose that is the connection. And of course if NWN covers it then that cements it.
