I’ve just seen a snatch of The Railway Children on Look North which reminded me of Bernard Cribbins, looked him up on Wiki and he’s still breathing, 92 years young.

Ah the memories. Many (many) years ago my mate and I pulled into a petrol station in West Hampstead to fill up. Mate got out and was at the pump when a sports car pulled up at the other side of the pump, and out got Leslie Phillips.  I was trying to do my 'I'm looking at him but trying not to let him notice' thing when he came over to the car and said something along the lines of " I say chaps, just picked up this car and I can't find the petrol cap, I don't suppose one of you would know where it is?"  Out we got and after a while my mate found it (behind the rear number plate), cue lots of thanks in true Carry On/ farce mode, and off we went. A very nice chap.

Jam Eater  1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive.  It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.

John Astin, 92 today. Best known for playing Gomez Addams, but was also occasionally The Riddler (when Frank Gorshin was unavailable).

I’m amazed he’s alive and amazed he’s ‘only’ 89

David Clayton-Thomas, 81

Probably the only white soul singer who can look Tom Jones and Joe Cocker (theoretically!) in the eye.

Gosh, yes. I thought he'd gone years ago.  BS & T were really really good. Still on my playlist.

Seeing as I’m rewatching Edge of Darkness it seems apt to point out that Joe Don Baker (87) and Charles Kay (92) are still alive .

Over 42 years now since she lost John Lennon.

Very sad.
