The old feller seems to be getting rather intermittent of late. 20th October last post, save you looking it up. Is he ok? Does anyone know? Last edited by: Duncan on Thu 27 Oct 16 at 09:58 Reply to this message | Report message

I'd wondered too. There have been a number of threads I thought might have tempted him. But he might be on holiday I suppose. Hope he's OK. Reply to this message | Report message

He did once tell us enough to work out his name, and from that his address. But don't you think it would be a bit weird to knock on his door and say, 'Hello, you don't know me, but I'm from the internet and what news of Mr x?' Reply to this message | Report message

I agree that anyone that knows his details could probably find him and check he's okay. Anyone who doesn't know his details should not be able to. So for most of us on here, we will know how he is if he ever returns to this forum or replies to one of the emails sent (e.g. by Pat). I wasn't suggesting I tracked him down you know :-) Let's hope he is actually well and just away for a bit. Reply to this message | Report message

Looking at his recent visit/post history.... he last visited here last Tuesday (25th Oct) but last posted 5 days before that (20th Oct). So he's not posting as much as he used to either - which is a shame. Doesn't he sometimes visit relatives or something? Maybe he doesn't have Internet access and will be amused by this thread.

Anybody on a forum could be traced if you really wanted to follow the clues, but that would be an ungentlemanly thing to do. Leave it to his personal acquaintances to act as they see fit.

And I think you'll find a few people with the same name as old AC so not necessarily straight forward to find the right AC anyway. He did once post a reference to something on HJ that I think he'd written. We had that removed as mods just in case. But I doubt you'd easily find him from even that article.

I don't know his details anyway. But I don't intend doing anyway. You've emailed him and got not reply which doesn't mean much unless he always replies promptly. I'd hope he does not say he's away on Facebook because that tells people his house is likely to be empty. I don't have the article details - just remember something about one he referenced so had a name. But name can be more common than you think - don't forget I work for Honestjohn ;-) I do hope old Lud is okay. Fingers crossed. Reply to this message | Report message

I might be coming across as a bit morbid and all with messages like 'fingers crossed'. But my father-in-law (84) had a heart attack just over 3 weeks ago. Thankfully 2 days before we went away on holiday. Thankful that is we were around and not a 3 hour flight away somewhere in Greece! You just don't know with these old 'uns. Father in law doing well. You'd never know he's had a heart attack and a stent inserted! AC is no doubt away enjoying himself. It's a shame he doesn't write more about what he got up to in his interesting life. Maybe he did and we need to buy the book! :-) Reply to this message | Report message

I have two articles on file written by old 'king Lud. One was forwarded to me by a mod who is now a grumpy old fart, and the other one was posted to me. I've 'Binged' his name + West Sussex + obituary, but that lead to a dead end. As I stated before, he knows where we are so it's best left at that IMO. Reply to this message | Report message

I spent a couple of months in Malta in late 1956,. I thought it was not very nice. My mother loved it pre-war, probably aided by the naval wives club, the availability of house help very cheaply gained and the fact in those days it was foreign (hot) climes, normally out of reach of ordinary folk. To blow my own trumpet (!). I won the most beautiful baby cup, in my age group (up to 6 months I think) in the Malta naval wives club competition . My photo was published in the club magazine, which is still in the family :-) Reply to this message | Report message
