I think he was Brain of Britain or something similar.
Immortalised, if that's the word, in HMHB's 'D'ya ken Ted Moult'.

When I was serving in the RAF in Oman, Ted Moult was part of an ‘entertainment’ group to help keep our peckers up.
Fuck know what his credentials were. Topped himself with a shotgun, I believe.
Preferred this one

After some fucking 3 long days this week of 12-14 hours driving shifts I actually got home early today after an 8 hour shift. If tomorrow goes to plan I could fuck off at lunchtime. However, if a fat carrot of a job is dangled in front of me then all bets are off.

Often walk my dog down the Kennet... usually from Theale to the Cunning Man pub in Burghfield. Despite being close to the M4 and the Reading - Newbury rail line its very peaceful

It's Songkran. It's probably to stop people getting pissed up and partying. People are less likely to do so if they're sober. Not that it will work. Every fucker's just going to stock up instead. |

Cunning Man used to be one of my out of town irregular Sunday night pint haunts. Forgotten all about it til you mentioned it. |

It will stop underprepared people from partying. Serves them right, the spontaneous bastards |

Just been to Tesco. Have to applaud what they are trying to do but some people just don't seem to either see, or understand the directional arrows and basically just do what they want. That said, the shops are nicely stocked now and people don't seem to be panic buying as much anymore.

Just had one of those rare asda deliveries. Plenty of substitutes but all in all everything covered. Keeps me in another week so thankful for that. |

Give it a couple of hours and that will change. All the supermarkets near me apparently have queues round the blocks. The shelves were just starting to fill up a bit as well. We have fuck all food in the house bar cat food typically. |

I had to queue for 25 mins to get in to our local Tesco this morning. Huge, snaking queue that doubled back on itself after 400 metres or so. But all very orderly and well-natured. We really do queue magnificently well in this country.
I think that the arrow directions in the aisles are a bit much. Some people are observing them, but most aren't because they can see that it's not practical - particularly when the shop is much less busy than usually anyway. (The long queues are more to do with the staff operating a 1 in 1 out system. Once you're in, it's fine.)
