I had the great pleasure of meeting the very funny and intelligent woman on 3 occasions. She was honest, talented and just a damn good egg.

Rest in peace fat lady! Bollocks to Blair!

Always struck me as a horrible woman.

RIP

Edit. Apparently I had her confused with that fat one from Kim and Aggie. She is horrible. Of CDW I don't really have an opinion.

Still, RIP.

She lived life to the full and did not hang back. A hell-raiser with a posh accent!

Hated carrots with a vengance.

Considered butter was the main fat with which to cook.

Never met her but I'm sure we would have got on very well (you will never be served carrots as a vegetable from my kitchen. At best, they are a stock ingredient, used reluctantly because they are cheap and available.).

I really liked them both, they always made me think that they would turn up at the WI jam-making course and teach the village ladies how to make blackberry Hurricanes instead.

Nothing was ever "bad for you", other than not allowing yourself the pleasure of eating it. My kind of food mentality.

They were the sort upon whose every word I would have hung (probably laughing sycophantically) whilst stealing their recipes, listening to their stories of posh derring-do, having cross words with them and then making up over gin slings*, blagging lifts in the sidecar and just generally enjoying their eccentricity.

There are fuckloads of eccentric women, young and old, riding motorcycles. Most of them are quite scary, so crazy that even I don't really bother to engage with them for long.

But those two old bints were a different kind of eccentric. Old-school posh nutters, unaffected by the politically correct dietary requirements of modern day.

We need more eccentric posh old women on motorcycles.
Sadly, I'm not posh enough to qualify as a stand-in Laughing

RIP mad old woman

*I actually do have a mate like this who lives in NZ: a prime candidate for old woman eccentiricity these days, who I have known since I was 18, she's not posh but she's my original nutjob role model who made me the crazy old bint I am today Laughing

... I miss her so!

Terrific pair of women those "Two Fat Ladies" but I must admit that I wouldn't have liked to have woken up one morning and finding either OR BOTH of them lying beside me !.

Sad news, 66 isn't really old.
Reading her biography she had a life. Being bankrupt once would finish me let alone several times. Plus she came from a certain class, blowing 2.8 million and appearing it made not a jot of difference.

I'll have to get her 'Potty' book. One pot cooking. It's the sort of easy (lazy) cooking that I like.

Yeah damn shame that. I always enjoy watching some privileged bloaters over-indulging. Fine, fine TV.

Oh but it's a refreshing antidote to all that PC paternalism dontcha know.
