RIP Ed Stewart

[TheDoctor]

Met his wife when he was 34 and she was 13, married her four years later.

Different times

Well, you say that.
I had a similar age gap going on, only I was the younger one. Can't say I felt abused. Or feel abused, given that we're still together.
Had they slept together when she was 13, then that's another issue, but AFAIK there's no suggestion of that.

Another one who grew up listening to Stewpot on the radio, loved his show and loved that he was an Evertonian. Couldn't stand Crackerjack though!

Rip Stewpot.

Memories have been flooding back, he always played stuff like Terry Scott's My Brother or Bernard Cribbens or Ronnie Hilton, I swear I hadn't heard "A Mouse Lived in a Windmill" for forty years and I could remember the words.

"They had lots of christenings when no-one was listening"

Genius.
