Shame for his family and all, can't say I take joy in the death of people who aren't total bottom feeders but never struck me as a 'good guy' at all.

I might have it all wrong but that's the perception.

In fact he was one year younger than you were in 2001 when he died, by your accounts you should be celebrating your 90th this year, congratulations

I used to work for Esure in Reigate and met a number of people that had met him whilst he was filming the adverts.

They felt he was also a horrible man with a perchant for bullying and shouting at people.

I always got the impression he was a spoilt, obnoxious git who made some mostly bad films and said "Calm down dear" in a patronising way on an advert for an insurance company (for which he is best remembered), had a lot of nice dinners and was rude about them a lot and was generally unpleasant to be around.

I would be nice about him but I beleive he did get to boff Beverely D'Angelo (The mum from the National Lampoons vacation films) and I cannot forgive him for that, she was mine !
