Oh my, I'm so very sorry for your loss Ruth.


I can only echo the sentiments expressed here.


Simon was a firm favourite of mine and his thoughtful, insightful contributions will most certainly be missed, but above all it was his warm, wry sense of humour that shone through.


My sincerest condolences

Piers

Thank you all so much for your condolences and the lovely tributes. Although Simon's life was limited physically it seems he has touched and inspired many people both face-to-face and on the internet.


John K - I'd love to know more about Simon and Victor!


Laddy muck, you have a pm


The cremation will be in Doncaster on 17th January. We've asked for family flowers only. If anyone would like to make a donation in Simon's memory, the charities he supported are


St Georges Hospital Kidney Patients Association www.sgkpa.org.uk


National Association of Deafened People www.nadp.org.uk


Celia Hammond Animal Trust www.celiahammond.org

Before I took my first great leap into this abyss and posted, I took great pleasure in his much missed wit. I believe that his last post ended with

"There's very little storage and no off-road car parkng".

    • Not quite sure where all these references come from as Tommy Rooney being a great/swift communicator - that couldn't be further from our experience.  Rang him a week ago today/Monday to check that he was able to do Gas Safe inspection/cert' for me.  Emailed him the same morning with all the relevant information, messaged him Friday to check whether he's able to schedule it in, called (x3) and messaged again today - without a single response ..... If he can't or doesn't want the work - it would be much easier for all concerned to just say so.  Really not impressed.  Am gutted our regular Gas Safe guy of many years has retired.
    • Who can afford to smoke. I know someone who buys their tobacco at  duty free prices from a local shop. You can get cheap but fake tobacco from the market shops in Peckham, but these are dangerously detrimental to your health. I have no idea why these shops are allowed to sell such cr*p and get away with it.
    • Shops in stations are catering for people in a hurry who want/need to buy things they haven't had the forethought/time/inclination to buy before they got to the station. Therefore the shops have a captive market,  and I imagine can charge whatever they think said captive market will pay, at least for things which don't have a set price marked on them, like magazines. It is also possible that their overheads like rent are greater in a station, though I have absolutely no idea about that. I'm a bit surprised if M&S are charging more in stations though? I bought a filled baguette at the small M&S upstairs at  London Bridge on Sunday because I didn't have time for breakfast, and it didn't seem any more expensive than I have previously paid at M&S food stores  elsewhere?
