She clearly was very distressed and vulnerable. Every suicide is a tragedy and the immediate question is always one of whether anything could have been done to help her. Her friends and family especially will wrestle with that for a long time. I suspect that she had been battling with depression for some time, and that the decision to pursue with the assault charge was the final tipping point. It will be a complex mix of things that took her to this very tragic place though. Very sad. She had everything to live for in reality.

Apollo astronaut Al Worden has died at the age of 88.


Worden served as command module pilot for Apollo 15 with Dave Scott and Jim Irwin. During the mission Worden became the first human to carry out a deep space walk. He logged 38 minutes in extravehicular activity outside the command module, "Endeavour."

Very Sad..


Back in the 70's Myself and a friend were invited to go to Blenheim Palace to meet Lord Bath.

Cannot remember by who but it was a close family member.

We declined as we did not want to meet some Posh Rich person.

We had no idea about the Man at that time.


Really regretted it later..

I don't believe I was ever contrary to your way of thinking Sparticus. Every death is a tragic loss, whether in hospital, at home, in a care home, at home or abroad. It is painfully tragic that those looking after us on the front line are succumbing to the virus because they have not been given correct PPE.

Actually I quoted the message as it was when I replied this morning. It still reads 'foxy'! Not sure of the point you're making ianr. I did not participate in the thread you are quoting. Let's focus on the point of the thread, shall we?

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
