RIP Reg Varney

[Juan Albion]

Can't believe there's no thread marking the passing of the Great One.

The first man to use an ATM. FACT.

When I watched a rerun of the OTB feature film recently, I couldn't believe how sexist it was - yet when I first watched it in the 70s, I don't remember thinking there was anything wrong with it! It shows how those crafty feminists have manipulated our minds over the years!
Also, I couldn't believe he was 92 - thought he was in his early 40s during filming. And what became of his conductor - yeah, the ugly one who managed to pull the birds.

Bob Grant (played Jack Harper, the conductor). Sadly he committed suicide a few years ago, he must have been in his late sixties.
