rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted January 26, 2017 I'm always surprised by Clive Bossom being still alive. Don't know why but he's one of the names whose deaths I expect to see reported here every morning after I wake up. On the Denis Healey thread? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Carrington Patrick Jenkin Geoffrey Howe Jim Prior Greville Janner Bill Rodgers David Waddington Betty Boothroyd Peter Tapsell Douglas Hurd Gerald Kaufman Shirley Williams Norman Tebbit Cecil Parkinson John Nott Dennis Skinner Nigel Lawson Roy Hattersley Michael Heseltine Tom King David Winnick Kenneth Baker All are over 80 now and highly obitable. I think that Carrington should definitely go back on next years list and that Geoffrey Howe and Greville Janner should be added as well to next years list. Kaufman and Waddington both gone in the last 3 days, to join Howe, Jenkin ,Prior Janner and Parkinson. They're dropping like flies ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,263 Posted February 27, 2017 I think it's an omen for Peter Carrington to be the 3rd Deathlist hit this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a fan. tbh, too much of the Melvyn Bragg/Mark Lawson approach for my liking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
