Just wanted to add our heartfelt sympathy to all of Pickles family and friends. Craig and Jenny let me know the sad news and was truly saddend to hear of the loss of one of the scenes characters, As has been said in the 80's Pickle, along with Rod, Mad Mick, Craig, Del, all the Letchworth Firm went eveywhere together. Morecombe, Leciester and just about anywhere you care to mention. I shall have fond happy memories of the Tazmanian Devil spinning wildly out of control and sending at least 4 of us flying on a regular basis. I'll be raising a glass to him later this evening.

Nice one Craig Just got home from work (dj) and saw the photo of Pick and Panda So many fu**ing great memories

I even played Curtis Mayfield (move on up) for him tonight, the danes had no idea what is was or why I did it but fu*k em, I knew and so did Bri !

I know I`ve not seen him for years but I will miss him. Know the feeling ?

Trying to stay soulful.

Mark

Wow... just seen this... very sad news... a real character for sure!

Just spotted this and it is truly sad news. Knew Pickle well "back in the day" and he will be sadly missed.

Without people like him, there would have been no "scene".

RIP mate.
