Fat lady dies at 66 isn't surprising at all. She not only ATE badly, it's my read she exercised NOT AT ALL.

It's amazing she lasted that long. MEDS, I guess, for the fatties.

66 is a good run in some circles.

Cheers!

Boy, cloud, you are proving to be a real downer on every thread you’re on.

You obviously know nothing about this amazing lady who ate the greatest foods on earth and wrote some of the finest cookery books in English - particularly her one on roasts and carving. But then I own all her books and your glean what you know from God knows where.

She, by the way, was the first women in England who was admitted to the bar as a barrister. She survived childhood abuse and alcoholism to become one of the most beloved television presenters - with knowledge in many areas. She also was a Tory who fought political correction in all it’s forms.

RIP, Miss Dickson.
