Clement Freud dies

A learned and very funny man. RIP

Such a shame. Loved listening to him.

Hopefully he is transported to better place without any hesitation. Or repetition, or deviation…

I hate witnessing the passage of the old guard.

Clement wrote descriptively about horse racing and he owned a few racehorses in his time. He named one of them ‘Weareagrandmother’ in honour of Margaret Thatcher’s famous and fatuous comment following the birth of her first grandchild.

Very sad news.

As the Minute Waltz fades away…

Yup. That particular crew have all gone now. Also missed:

Kenneth Williams
Peter Jones (aka “The Book”)

Don’t forget Derek Nimmo.

Obligatory Telegraph Obituary.

I wonder if he slipped.
