Vinegar Tits 606 Posted July 28, 2016 Sad news but a fine age. I hope she's up there complaining to Anne Haddy about the state of *that* portrait. Mind you, I'd have never commissioned Helen Daniels to paint a picture of me anyway judging by the rest of her 'art'... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fergie86 376 Posted July 28, 2016 Sad news that Mrs. Mangel has finally snuffed it, she looked ancient 30 years ago when she was in Neighbours much older than she actually was, i thought Vivean Gray may of actually died years ago but it had gone unreported, she was the Aussie equivalent of Lou Beale of EastEnders a proper old school battle axe, still 92 is a great age to reach.
