    RIP Inspector Gadget

    I was saddened to learn this morning that forum member and good friend Inspector Gadget (Les) lost his battle with a rare and aggressive cancer at 1800 hrs last night. I came to know Les personally when I asked a question about the effectiveness of CBD oil for pain relief for my wife. Les was a great believer in the benefits of CBD oil and offered both advice and product, delivering it to our house personally for no cost.

    He was a regular contributor to the forum and his presence will be sorely missed.

    RIP old friend.

    Eddie

    Oh no, what awful news.

    I was a pal of Les and bought and sold him a bit of stuff over the years, a damn nice bloke.

    It was only a few weeks back that he was getting radiotherapy and now this. It came on very fast.

    Condolences to Steph and his lovely family.

    RIP Les.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    I dont know Inspector Gadget at all, but recognise the username and it's always sad when a member passes away. Despite all the nonsense, there is a definite sense of our own little clan here.
    RIP and condolences to all who knew and loved him.
