I wonder if those who asked that are still keeping count, as we've had a quite a few of them this year too, alas.

YoungWillz 21,055 Posted December 4, 2021 Fascinating. Bill Abernethy, Britain's last professional pearl fisherman, dies at 96: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/obituaries/2769999/perthshires-bill-abernethy-who-found-scotlands-largest-freshwater-pearl-dies-aged-96/ and gets a Times Obit too: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bill-abernethy-obituary-06j0p29cr Pearls found by him were incorporated into jewellery worn by the Royal Family. The Abernethy Pearl is named after him and was the subject of a disputed ownership some years back. Freshwater pearl fishing in Britain was outlawed in 1998. Hardly a glamorous occupation, here's some footage from 1961 showing Bill at work: 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death notice is just a listing of her death with no other text, right? I take it that alone doesn't count as a QO? Honestly, it is interesting how a big broadcaster like BBC, who can practically hire any expert guests they want, found Carol qualified enough to appear as an U.S. political commentator (i.e. BBC Radio 4) for over 15 years. Yet not interesting enough to mention her death (caused by the most talked-about diseases in the past 2 years!), even in passing. Not only that, they also hired her, a BAFTA member, as an Oscars commentator. Politics and films are competitive and oversaturated fields, you're not going to get a foot in and be heard by millions of viewers if you're a complete nobody. I'd understand if it was an entomologist talking about the filbert weevil for 30 minutes on a 3:AM radio show that only bored truck drivers tune in to during their night shifts. Or why not ITV News, as she had a stint at Anglia Television in the 1980s? Apparently, she was the one who pushed for those P.D. James novels to be televised. She also commissioned the last three seasons of Tales of the Unexpected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
