So sad

Heard about this a while ago, didn't post as I didn't want to upset people, glad someone did.

A truly British TV icon.

I think her actual name might have been appropriate.

A while ago? It's breaking news!

Were you at the hospital?

This reminds me of when Jimmy Nail died.

I thought it was an odd comment to make. I think he is after some kind of badge of recognition.

Deleted user 19 January 2015 21:54:24

Probably at the bedside.

A passive aggressive whine is the perfect way to honour her memory. It's what she would have wanted.

Drop it out eh? I stopped posting these threads as people just started having a go at me at making them. I was just happy there was a thread about it, thats all. She has played an iconic character on British TV for donkeys years and although, of course, having a thread here doesn't mean anything, considering what she has achieved on British TV, I thought it was deserved.

Anyway, enough with the obsessing over me please.
