Sir Terence Conran DEAD

[lolly]

Design icon to those of a certain age. He was in Absolutely Fabulous for those of another age.

'Proud patriot', apparently.

'Proud patriot', apparently.

Usually translates as "nonce" these days but let's see.

 

[Nancy]

Is he the one who invented the kitchen?

 

[lolly]

Is the shop on Marylebone High St still there? The DAYS I must have spent in that shop, without ever buying anything more than a greetings card.

Gift sections in expensive shops have done so well out of me down the years.

 

[GinAg (39)]

He's no Dame Diana Rigg.

 

[lolly]

Spend hours admiring a £500 lamp, come out with a desk accessory for best friend at Christmas.

He's no Dame Diana Rigg.

Definitely more Linda Thorson

 

[Diddy]

What was the in-house brand for Tesco? Or was it Debenhams

Debenhams.

 

[Diddy]

Debenhams.

that was a long shot, and I suspect it wasn’t anything like Terence Conran

 

[lolly]

Hang on, are we talking about Jasper Conran for Debenhams?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Jasper is his gay homosexual son right? He's Debenhams.

 

[COB]

Jasper is his son, isn't he?

RIP to the proud patriot/possible old racist Sir Tel. I wonder if God will let him have a bash at redesigning heaven, as per that Ab Fab episode?

 

[lolly]

And Shirley Conran his ex-wife, also mother of Jasper and far more , author of LACE

 

[Diddy]

I'm going to pretend I knew all that and I'm amazing

Oh, you're right. Like most people, I haven't been in Debenhams for so long that I forgot.
