Couldn't stand her myself, but I wouldn't wish her any harm. A doyen of trash TV.

My mother loved her. I quite liked some of her stuff but couldn't bear that surprise surprise show, or blind date. The Royal Variety with her light up costume was a hoot.
RIP Cilla

You could of course refrain from making such comment to show a little respect.

I am 55 and she has been around all my life. Some time decade or so ago I heard one of her records and thought -wow she was good at what she did. The recent biographical drama with Sheridan Smith playing Cilla was about the best bit of TV I have seen in a year and Cilla's simple girl-next-door charm shone through. Sad that it has now so coincided with hear death.

Who says I didn't like her? All I did, as Marmion says, is question whether she was, as suggested, "loved and respected by everyone", having recalled from the earlier thread that she was in fact loathed by many, who'd actually met her, and found her a stuck up rhymes-with-witch with a massive sense of self-importance and a habit of treating 'underlings' like something she'd found on her shoe. If that makes me sick, so be it. I feel fine.

Oh and one other thing...I remember ruffling a few feathers similarly hereabouts on a previous occasion, after comments I made on a Jimmy Saville RIP thread, when I said that I'd always found the guy a bit sinister. Just plain disrespectful, me....

I didn't. My point is that their death is no reason to change your position.

It's funny. Both my parents are scouse, and all four of my grandparents are scouse, and I spent a large part of my youth in Liverpool, and I spent the first few years of my working life in Liverpool, and I've never heard anyone call it "d'pool". You're a bell mate.
