time 8,618 Posted May 21, 2015 Britain's oldest Poppy seller, Olive Cooke, jumped to her death at age 92: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3089332/Britain-s-oldest-poppy-seller-jumped-death-Avon-Gorge-Olive-Cooke-92-long-term-issues-depression-inquest-hears.html She was a long-time sufferer from depression. The article makes it sound as if her constant awareness of human misery caused it. Feel free to also post it in the appropriate suicide threat. She only sold 300,000 poppies in 76 years? If she had a 5-day-week and worked about 200 days each year, then that's 15200 days of work in 76 years, or about 20 poppies each day. Hmm... is it custom to buy just one of them or several at once? If the latter is the case, then that rate is indeed a bit poor... Poppies are only supposed to be sold for the two weeks leading up to remembrance Sunday.

Furthermore, as a Yank I'm totally unaware of this show, so to IMDb I went, and when Terry Sue Patt didn't show up immediately, I pulled up the full cast and scrolled........and scrolled.....and scrolled. Terry Patt appeared in 29 episodes; and yes I counted, a full 170 other cast members appeared in more. So guessing Terry's role rather minor. Still, the show seems popular, so may I suggest with that many folks involves the show obtains a thread of it's own? Once a link appears that is. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted May 22, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/grange-hill-star-terry-sue-patt-5745192 -confirmed. Wow. I remember rushing home from school to see what escapades Tucker, Benny and Alan would get up to. Having watched some of the first episodes, some of the acting was a bit wooden, but I liked it at the time. Especially as they used to film a fair bit of it where I went to school.

SC Considering many of the cast members from Grange Hill appeared in other shows such as The Bill, Eastenders, Casualty, etc. I'd say no we don't need another topic. And no, Terry Sue-Patt's role was not minor. Considering the show is about a secondary school, and in England we went to secondary school from the ages of 11-16. And there weren't a great deal of episodes per series, (around 18 was the most I think compared to 24 that they do in the U.S.) He was on the show for a good couple of years bearing in mind of how long it ran and that they did a total of 601 episodes. The request for a citation when I made my post was that I did a search and couldn't see any mention that he had died. I knew perfectly well of who Terry Sue-Patt was. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
