    Then Barrie Masters snuffed it soon after :-(

    Actually - I now I think about it Andy Scott should be a little worried, cos we saw him a few months ago with his incarnation of (The) Sweet...

    Unfortunately:
    a) He is the only left
    b) He is also suffering with (fairly advanced) cancer

    Sorry to be so depressing... but on this thread it's not exactly going to be joyful I guess

    And, speaking of "retirement": M Emmett Walsh, 88.

    He was lucky: he missed appearing in the 2049 turkey.

    Yeah, just heard, genuinely upset and got a pang of survivors guilt, been watching their latest show and thought he was doing alright. Seemed to be a top bloke, hope they've got a Harley for him up there.

    The last time I watched Corrie it was in the Mountain Dew, Mount Pleasant, Swansea, in about 1976.

    Is Ena Sharples still in it?
