Reid it and weep








As moste peple (reading this anyway) will be aware, Mike Reid has passed on. I love the BBC's final summary of his life:

In the late 1970s, Reid hosted the ITV children's TV quiz show Runaround, remembered for its incomprehensible rules and the incongruity of him as presenter. "

I admired the "Have Your Say" comment from a reader somewhere on the Essex/fiction border.

It was along the lines of "I will mis him i liked it best wen he was maried to Pat but still seein Peggy."

He was certainly admired greatly by the illiterate and will be sadly mussed.
