This is so sad.
Another "great" dying at the hands of Covid - the death of Tim Brooke-Taylor hit me very hard. I still haven't got over it.
Bobby Ball inspired my boyfriend at the time, to buy a pair of red braces, and yes, people approached him and quoted Bobby's catchphrases.
My boyfriend stopped wearing them due to people's consistent twanging of the said braces, shouting "Rock on Tommy!", thinking they were the first person to ever quote the line.
He ended up with bruises all over his ribs!
