Their canal boat TV series was great.He said the dementia was affecting her a bit then but they were enjoying their time.

John Prescott.
No matter what your party, he was a major figure in UK politics, and a larger than life character.
Really good to hear Michael Heseltine, amongst others, speak about him on Today this morning.
Did not agree with a lot of his politics but he seemed a decent enough bloke.
He was self made, no silver spoon in his mouth, and he came up the ranks, starting as a mere steward/waiter on the Cunard line.
He told a tale about some foreign dignitary he was talking to who asked him if they had already met at any time, as he did not remember him, he said âYeah weâve met, I once served you a gin and tonicâ'.
I also warmed to him when he thumped that Welsh gob shiâŚ
