You are welcome .I remember watching it and thinking how sad it was . Poor old chap had been in the camps in the war I think .Must have turned his mind .To think he had five children and not one of them would help him .

[looobylooo]

yes, i agree, very sad eh .. ive just read your link on him.

Good though that, possibly because of the programme, he spent his last days happy and being loved and cared for. I think a good chunk of the nation took him to their hearts.

Whenever my sister visits my house she calls me Mrs Trebus. Can't imagine why!
