Eh? I dont get it sean.

Anyway it seems there has been enough interest for this to have been a stand alone thread.

Im pleased about that as he seemed a really nice guy and always good fun. I look forward to lots of bbc tribute repeats. Always good value.

I liked Keith Floyd purely for the fact that he simply spent the majority of his life f_cking about in foreign climbs. No one, and I mean no one, could pull off and inspire me to wear a safari jacket both at the same time.


I too saw Keith meets Keith and truly felt sorry for both Keith Floyd and his daughter. I felt sorry for Floyd because Keith Allen was so letcherous and I felt sorry for his daughter because her reunion had turned into a circus.


Ironically my DVD player of many years died last night half way through a Foyles War box set.


I'll be raising a glass to both legends tonight. R.I.P Keith, and you too DVD player.

My sentiments exactly Mic Mac.

"Mick - I was just suggesting that we don't get too reverential towards the man - he wasn't noted for his own respect of etiquette after all"



Ok no worries Sean, I was posting from my mobile phone at the time so had not seen Bob's post, so not clear what you meant.

I met Keith Floyd a few times, He did most things to excess, including alcohol .


Must be something about being a "Keith"...Floyd/Richards/Moon all took/take things to excess...


R.I.P. Keith, you were quite a character in an era where characters are becoming thin on the ground.

I liked Floyd from his first shows, befor him all the top Chefs traveld the world staying in 5 star hotels and eating in at least 3 star michlin restraunts eating poncy food at over inflated prices. Floyd turns up at any major city world wide heads for the back streets and meets the local and proper people Top Man, did it all first, R.I.P KF

Keith Floyd was a total genius, honest, natural and rock and roll and deserves to be "on the front page" in The Lounge.


When Keith met Keith is on Channel 4 catch up and is brilliant on a number of levels, not least in reflecting on his legacy (constant mindless celebrity chef drivel by comparison). Strangely prophetic that it was broadcast last night and asks whether he is still alive.


A fitting bow at the final curtain. Legend.

    • I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.   
    • There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂
    • This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.
    • I don't understand this, probably my fault. I thought the Crown offices were going to close completely and the  services they provided were going to be moved to local shops with space for a sub post office. But if the Post Office is  seeking franchisees for the Crown offices, that implies that the offices themselves would stay. But if they are not profitable for the Post Office, how could they become profitable for a franchisee?
