I was away for a while I am so sad to hear about John at Chener Books. He was SO knowledgeable and posted a lot on here about local history. He was lovely and funny and friendly and sometimes even gave me free old maps! That's so sad. I would have loved to have attended his funeral if I had been here.

His funeral was private, I believe. I understand that the family didn't want John's sad death generally known until after the funeral had taken place.


There was talk of a memorial service of some kind, but I don't know whether that is still planned.

Jeremy Hardy - spoke with him once after a benefit at the Half Moon, he was a charming, self-deprecating man who had time for everyone. Friends who lived on the same road as him in Streatham found him a delightful neighbour. Plus, of course, he was astoundingly funny, especially when improvising on shows like The News Quiz and ISIHAC (and nobody will ever forget his singing!). A great loss.
So sad. Occasionally the death of someone famous who you never met feels like losing a friend, a genuine pang of loss. I saw him at a number of News Quiz recordings where some of his more outrageous and biting flights ended up on the cutting room floor. A great privilege to be there for that.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
