Just read that the old geezer who was in the BBC show "life of grime" has passed on. You remember the old geezer with the walking sticks and his house in London with mountains of crap (literally) all around and in his house? He had a big obit write up in the Indy purely from being shown on tv in his landfill house.
Compulsive viewing.

 

The legendary Edmund Trebus

the obit said that they filmed a third life of grime programme, but he was in a bad way. On the second programme i particularly liked the bit where the builders repaired his house on a promise that theyd have a stake in the property, only to be told by Trevis to sling their hook when the work was completed. And his "new" friend, looked like a gold digger, a classic story.
