Well, this is crappy news... In the car, in the workshop, the caf, the site canteen - he was always there - well, at least in the UK (though I kept listening to his show even whilst overseas where possible). He was treated like utter cr@p by the BBC in recent years IMO and they should hang their heads in shame. Loads followed and tried to copy his format but haven't come close....
R.I.P. Sir - You were A Class Act!!
