Indeed, very sad.

Must admit, though, I wonder whether the stress of the L'Oreal takeover had anything to do with it, cos she's had quite a lot of shit off people since that happened...

really? You never worked at the factories in Littlehampton then.


EDIT - perhaps a little insensitive. Sorry. RIP Anita.

Or the fact she provided a lot of jobs for many people in Sussex

What did she do with it? Bottle it to use as a hair treatment?


All joking aside, it is sad news. For all her faults, the Body Shop had its roots in Brighton. I remember shopping at the place when it was a tiny shop in Kensington Gardens.

RIP ... and all that.

Very sad. I had the pleasure of meeting her, when we raided their factory of non-saleable stuff that we used to raise money for medical supplies for Malawi. A very nice lady indeed.

RIP Anita.

I'd presume they were unrelated, as the accidental infection was in the early 1970s.

Possibly. I just saw it on the news and wasn't really paying attention.

RIP Anita.

I have a close member of family that has known her for many years and she was at their wedding just 2 weeks ago, if Anita was suffering she didn't show it and seemed very happy.

She was way ahead of everyone and was a legend of her time.:bowdown:

RIP Anita.

Used to come into my Circle K in Arundel. I once asked her for ID to join the video club. To be fair she didn't say 'do you know who I am'!

Stroppy and businesswoman first and foremost, plus her husband apparently played a huge part in the company's success but was campaigning for environmentally friendly and ethical sourced goods years before it became the trendy thing to do.

Must be a case for a minute's silence at the Yeovil game?
