Great news, I've been after his house in Glencoe for ages.

He sold that house years ago.

How's about that, then?

Another constant that is no more. Can't be many of 'em left now. Brucie; that's about it.

Stoke Mandeville is my local hospital and that unit always makes me think of him when I'm there.

Broadmoor is my local hospital, and that unit always makes me think of, er, home.

Nurse!

Best obituary I've seen yet, from the Yorkshire Post

Sir Jim’s earnings were substantial and he owned at least eight homes, including flats in Regent’s Park, Bournemouth, Leeds and Scarborough. Among his six cars were a Bentley Turbo, a Mercedes 500 SL and a flashy Rolls-Royce.

He was a paid consultant to travel agent Thomas Cook and charged a minimum of £10,000 for personal appearances. His British Rail “Age of the train” advertisements in 1984 brought in around £500,000.

But Sir Jimmy gave away nine-tenths of his income to two charitable trusts and in the later part of his career, he became more famous for his charity fund-raising and work as a voluntary helper at Stoke Mandeville, Leeds Infirmary and Broadmoor.

I didn't like him in his DJ role, but he more than made up for it with Jim’ll Fix It and his charity work. He raised more than £30 million for charity, £12 million of which for Stoke Mandeville.

Feck! I think I remember that, or something very similar.

Yes, one of the kids was a right porker, as I recall, and snaffled most of the food before the others had a look in!

edit: Great find k2p2

[MarillionFan]

I wonder how much that would fetch on Ebay?

(not that you should ever contemplate selling it, mind)

I'd never sell it.

Cherished memories.
