RIP Chas.

One of Middlesex's finest (He was born in Edmonton, not the East End).

I saw Chas and Dave in concert in 1980s with my fiance (now husband). We had a great time.

A toast to Chas in Courage Best!

I wouldn't say I was a huge fan, but I like C&D. I've got a book by Chas - on vegetable growing. He was a keen allotmenteer.

Used to love their songs as a kid. As a snooker fan loved Snooker Loopy, of course. Also Margate, which is used in the OFAH episode Jolly Boys Outing. Rabbit, aswell. They had so many good songs. Another part of my childhood gone. :(

. . . and, as you get older, the speed of those losses increases - exponentially it seems!
