Re: R.I.P. Jimmy Savile
In 1999 I was a patient at Stoke Mandeville for 7 months. During this time Jimmy would come down to visit the hospital on (roughly) a monthly basis. He was eccentric, but had the time to come and talk to anyone who spoke to him. He did loads for the hospital and spinal injury awareness in general. I've got a photo of him with my kids (who didn't know who he was) I'll see if I can find it and put it up here.
RIP Jimmysigpic

Re: R.I.P. Jimmy Savile
I loved him as a child, I loved Jim'll fix it and always used to watch the london marathon waiting to see him. I remember telling my Mum I was going to ask Jim'll fix it for an A la carte kitchen, I didn't quite understand at that point that it wasn't just to ask for things you don't have! Later on a fix it that sticks in my mind was a child who asked to visit every place on a monopoly board. One of my friends I have discovered in later life wrote to ask to be arrested by one of the policemen from the Bill! Does anyone remember "Jamie makes the necessary arrangements", it came on channel 4 I think in the early naughties and they had old JIm'll fix it letters which they fixed for adults (or so they said, could of been made up! I'm easily convinced!).
