It certainly is a good age to get to... but I can't help thinking it'd be damned frustrating, getting to within 17 months of the big 100, and a card from His Maj? I wonder if folk give that a consideration, at such an age? ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 100 on 7th March this year and died on 7th May. He was definitely holding out for it. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Met Leslie once in a hotel on the iom. His son, Roger was a colleague at the time and we were both there on business whilst Leslie was filming something. Must have been about 2002. Was a chance meeting, not planned. When we walked in he literally opened up with "Roger! I say!" "hi dad" (me) "go on Mr Phillips" "must I? Oh OK, ding doing!" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Heard a story on the radio that he signed for an attractive lady then realised he had written ding ding! He hastily added Sorry, I’m all out of dong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
