I am SO SO sorry to read this...I saw the notification of his birthday coming up yesterday and thought of him and wondered if he'd check in.. I liked Colin very much; he was such a lovely genuine and kind person, full of good advice and, of course, tales of his beloved Annie, and I missed him here on the forum. I knew him, like many others, both here, and on the 'old' Beeb site.
Should Colin's family read this, my sincere condolences to you all.
Kindest regards from his friend,
Alishka
