I wonder who lays claim to the post of "Tallest Exewebber"? M Earl (formerly a London Exile, now relocated oop north and appearing at Grimsby tomorrow) is about 9'3.Many a true word etc, but I haven't played Lock since my schooldays ! Basketball became my sport of choice thereafter, along with the rest of the extremely tall barstewards and barstewardesses ! Later as a coach the tallest players in my teams were 7'-0" (Male) and 6'-7" (Female).
Very sad news. His pedantry in Yes (Prime) Minister was brilliant.Derek Fowldes. Yes Minister among many others
Even in recent years, Derek Fowlds was known as "Mr. Derek" at his local supermarket. Sad to hear of his death.Basil Brush
Basil is hoping to mark his sad passing with a two-gun salute.Basil Brush will no doubt be sad too.
