    Could this be a Company Directorship for Nicky Tesco @Ulitzer95? https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/d5rpFyzfxbFsKmWyH99NJotAP7c/appointments December 1944 birth would fit in. Maybe a full press obit will reveal - I'd frankly be astonished if he doesn't obit.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Report of the death of Andy Remic, author of thrillers and science fiction such as Spiral and A Song For No Man's Land: Wrote text adventures for the ZX Spectrum as a child, so I'm guessing he was mid-50s, maybe slightly older? Twitter indicates he had been very ill. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6146368/

    Oh no, I was doomed from the moment Pop Zeus' age baseline for their team was 95.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    I wonder if she died abroad. That's a long time for a request to the Gazette - perhaps they turned up some Estate in the UK.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Peggy is a nickname for people with the more formal name Margaret. However, thinking about it, an official document might be unlikely to include that. Hmmm. I simply cannot find a British actress called Peggy Taylor. That's why I went left field.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Probably of no assistance at all, but the Margaret Taylor is the girl at the beginning doing the slapping during quoits and right at the end on the deck (yes, I ruddy well watched the whole thing, laughed twice): Broadcast in 1974 (Mott The Hoople and Slade playing at the "discotheque") so 46 years between 1974 and 2020, I'm guessing she was mid to late 20s so not beyond possible it's the same dame.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    I wonder. Here is a Gazette notice for a Peggy June Taylor, retired actress, who died in February 2020: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/3998644 Could this be Margaret Taylor, who had supporting roles in Z Cars, Doctor At Sea and Mind Your Language? I know this is a tough ask, I mean I'm not sure whether that is her birth or married name, always a problem with the dames.

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    From the Hooroo Mate thread above, John Landy, Australian athlete, the second to run a sub-4 minute mile and ran The Miracle Mile against Bannister at the Empire Games, reportedly dead aged 91. Herald Sun is paywalled unfortunately. Olympian in 1952 and 1956, at the latter winning a bronze in the 1500m. Edit: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/iconic-australian-athlete-john-landy-passes-away-20220225-p59zvb.html As an aside, many of the other names in the above Aussie list are dead, so who survives?

    Sister Wendys' Odyssey

    I wonder. Richard Coles has given a glowing one on Tweetletown about the comfort she gave him after his partner's death and he is no slow shakes at getting attention for causes close to his heart. 50/50 I'd say, unless the Mail/Mirror/Express are reading this right now. Certainly the Worcester Telegraph will be on the case.
