Very sad day today. Event though he did have 'a good innings'.

    Indeed. I remember reading the book and watching the tv show at primary school. Thought it was great. RIP

    I read that book 8½ times as a kid. I gave up on the 9th reading because I knew so much of it by heart.

    Is that where you get your CL nickname from @Stig?

    Indirectly, yes. I had a pet cat called Stig before taking on the name myself.

    Loved the book as a kid. Loved the fact my Mum could never say the title correctly. Used to make me roll up with laughter as time and time again she'd get a simple four word phrase wrong. Silly I know - but memories eh?
