I must've been under my rock too long
I honsetly just found out - at first, due to the deservedly light-hearted start to the excellent Obit. I thought he'd just moved on job-wise...
S'funny, even now when I reach for HP to put on my bacon butty, his 'nosh' articles come to mind.
Grief, I even mentioned him in a post a couple of weeks ago, without knowing. I'd suggested a bacon buttty icon "a la Lester"
RIP.
