Dutch people are well known for their longevity and he seemed to be in fairly good shape for his age.He was the 2nd oldest former world leader I believe.

Death Impends 7,601 Posted August 4, 2016 Noteworthy on the DDP front as a boost for Heading Nowhere and Pan Breed - puts the former at second place now, I believe. Also means everyone who was on my subs bench is now dead, as he was third after Marks and Granger. But hard to complain given the carnage that's happened among the twenty who did make the final cut.

Sir Creep 7,042 Posted August 4, 2016 Some points for this one! Former U.S. Rep.

YoungWillz 19,867 Posted August 15, 2016 The man who coined the phrase 'winter of discontent' , former tory MP and govt minister Sir David Price has died at 89 http://www.telegraph...e-obituary.html . He's the 2nd minister from the Mcmillan/Home govts to die in as many weeks following the death of Sir Christopher Chataway, leaving just 5 still alive. In case you were wondering the 5 surviving ministers are Peter Carrington (the only cabinet minister still alive), James Ramsden, Bertram Bowyer, Edward Du Cann and Robin Chichester Clarke Robin Chichester-Clarke has died aged 88. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/08/15/sir-robin-chichester-clark-mp-for-londonderry--obituary/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
