Tessa the Duchess Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sad news, he died today aged 85. I loved the Rumpole series on tv and his other books and plays were pretty fab too. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sad, he lived just up the way from my primary school & used to pop in every so often. Nice chap...odd,& loud, & very un PC, but nice. When I worked in a posh frock shop in Henley in my youth,he once came in asking for' A jumper for a woman with great big boobs', only with a slightly more colourful turn of phrase We sold him one David Vine, another local,also died this week.I couldn't bllieve he was 74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sad news about them both. Very hard to believe that David Vine was in his 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
