Ray Smyth:
I am deeply saddened to hear that Judith Durham of The Seekers passed away yesterday.
Judith was an amazing singer and also a very decent, down to earth lady. Rest in peace Judith.Ray Smyth.
Me too Ray. It took me a long while to get over my Mum playing The Seekers every chance she got on the Dansette, but get over it I did. She had a fabulous voice.
My late father and mother liked the Seekers and we chose I’ll never find another you for Dad’s funeral service.
Heard Judith’s band member, Athol Guy speaking today. He spoke with genuine sadness (you could hear it) and so much surprise and humility over the Seekers success which seemed perhaps at odds with most pop music of the day.
peterm:
A beautiful voice and a morally upstanding lady. No need to appear half naked and no drugs, ■■■ scandals or anything else. We all have to go, but this one leaves a legacy. RIP Judith.
She wouldn’t have been morally upstanding if I’d had half a chance Peterm! Joking apart a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice still listen to them on the You Tube.

On the A66 heading east towards Stainmore last week.
Another one went yesterday. British born Aussie Olivia Newton John, 73. Battled cancer for years and finally lost.
From Ron Beckwith of the Essex Beckwith family. Ron and brother John worked independently of brother Sid for a decade or so.
Buzzer:
Unusual machine for sure, Buzzer
Perhaps they were worried that when turning the driver would still be looking straight ahead?

If I had known you were in this area, not far from me, I would have met up with you and
Mrs McD and treated you both to a nice lunch and a brew at Southwaite Services.
Cheers, Ray.

Sad indeed, she was such a genuine and generous person.
It amuses me how quick we (Australians) are to claim celebrities, but equally quick to disown them when they err.

Yep, it’s the MSM that’s to blame for that.

A nice gesture Ray thanks 
. Been up and down Highlands to Oxford a few times since retiring north in '96 and used to be M74 M6 M42 M40 always seemed to find the lower end of the 6 congested seldom free flowing same with the 42 so now it’s Penrith A66 to Scotch Corner A1(M) amd M1 to Northampton then A43 and A34 to Oxford. A bit busier down there now or maybe I’m getting older
Cheers

Pretty sure the no. plate’s not legal though David. I was once prosecuted because the number plate on my Packard had fallen off and I replaced it with a handwritten version on thick rubber fastened around the V-shaped grill of the car.
