Wiki have now added Bessie Camm.On Britain's oldest Vera is only 5th.
Oldest in Britain say Bessie Camm and they are usually very reliable.Apparently Bessie was William Hague`s childhood nurse.You learn something new everyday.Incredible she made 112 after that trauma!So who is Britain's oldest woman now? According to Wiki it is Vera Pigott but Bess Camm is almost a year older than her but not yet verified.

This sent me scurrying to the SHBD masterlist but sadly no hit for William.Actors on twitter reporting the death of Black Beauty star William Lucas. He was in everything from The Prisoner to Last of the Summer Wine. He appeared in the Doctor Who story Frontios as Range after his friend Peter Arne, who was originally cast, was murdered before filming.
A DDP Qualifying obit will appear at some point.

Saw this yesterday and didn't make the connection until I saw the photo. Valerie was the guest star in an episode of The Ghosts of Motely Hall where she played the medium Emily Tiffin. It is worth seeking out for the very clever scene with Peter Sallis and Freddie Jones where they are both holding converstions with her but Peter Sallis is unaware the ghost is also present. They don't seem to make kids TV that clever and witty (and well cast) anymore.I've done a search here and online and can't find anything regarding Valerie Lush, born Christmas Day 1918. She was Auntie Flo in And Mother Makes Three/Five. Anyone know if she's still with us?
Death Notice from the Perthshire Advertiser indicates she sadly died on 14 May 2016 aged 97: http://www.bmdsonline.co.uk/perthshire-advertiser/obituary/bentley/47084017?s_source=tmsc_pe
A disgrace there has been no coverage of her passing.
Valerie gets her Guardian Obit: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/jul/19/valerie-lush-obituary
She was my first reserve/substitute on my DDP team.
Thought she had died years ago.

Do people think May can win the 2020 election?
Speaking right now...who else is going to win it?
After the last three weeks I am not making any predictions. We don't know what the political landscape will look like by 2020 and she still has to get there. She inherits Cameron's slender majority.
Who do we think are going to get the top jobs in her cabinet?
She does not seem to have a cabal of pals around her. Dominic Grieve might succeed her as Home Secretary. If she is feeling generous then Andrea Leadsom might get Business I suspect Philip Hammond will stay put and Gove might become Chancellor unless he is seen as Damaged goods now. I think she will take the opportunity to sack Hunt from Health and I hope that Whittingdale goes from Culture.
Who can she afford to leave on the backbenchers?

So who is Britain's oldest woman now? According to Wiki it is Vera Pigott but Bess Camm is almost a year older than her but not yet verified.

Ken Clarke - pissed or failing? Either way, that's a Wethertramp's face if I ever saw one.
I saw that and thought one of two things either he is really ill or the green room was very well stocked.
He was back on TV this morning saying what a wonderful woman Theresa May was and he looked in good health. I think he may have been a victim of hospitality on the previous occasion.
-
Have points been awarded for Caroline Aherne yet?
-
Should be possible. Definitely more likely to die than Joe Perry, another possible candidate
His big sister is still going strong.
Would putting him on the list be a farce?

No swaps by the way.Your list is final until the next round.
So can I get this straight.
If I pick 50 people, can I keep them for the duration? Or do they all get swapped around whenever someone dies?
Whenever someone dies a new round is triggered.You can then change all your picks none of your picks or anything in between.Just let me know after someone conks it if you want to change anything or withdraw your team!
I won't be making major changes to my team unless someone dies.

Well, he made the Wimbers Final.
Looks thin as spam right enough.
to be fair he looked worse last year. Never looked healthy.

Ok the likes on Toast`s post have spoken.Duplicates are allowed but you will only get a point for them whereas unique picks will give you two points!
I think uniques should be worth 3 rather than two. like Football.

I think I should have a go but my team will be very hamstrung by not being prompt.
Hopefully there will be a new round in a day or two and you can swoop in with the best picks. Hopefully not mine.

It is quite interesting that once you get to 1926 it does become easier. Those early years are challenging. Still got 8 picks for each though.
