Very sad to hear this news Ruth.

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

I should have posted on the anniversary but just wanted to say I still miss Simon on here.

I only met him once but not a week goes by when I don't think " this thread needs simonm to say something"

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

My sentiments exactly.

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".
