I think he was brilliant. He (John) got his character so spot on. The nuances perfected. Absolutely top tier actor. Strangely I was watching him the other day in Serenade For.... episode and realised how excellent he was. Truly missed.

I think they are for services to the sales of linoleum because it takes a significant effort to sell it . People struggle desperately to ask for it , they come in store bright and bushy tailed , measurements in hand , colour in mind and...
