I know she had lots of surgeries but how exactly do you spend £2 billion plus millions in support payments per year.
Her choice, obviously, but many charities crying out for that kind of support.SeeFive said:
Johnnie Walker was also a petrolhead. He raced stock cars and I think later on midgets.
As a kid I was going to be autograph hunting him in the pits at Tongham raceway one evening but unfortunately he broke his leg in an accident before I got there.
He did indeed race Midgets as my Dad worked on his car and also raced with him as well.As a kid I was going to be autograph hunting him in the pits at Tongham raceway one evening but unfortunately he broke his leg in an accident before I got there.

Already mentioned a few pages back in a post by "Cold" on Friday 27th Dec. One of the last surviving Royal Navy bomb disposal specialists from the Second World War has died at the age of 100.
Boyd Salmon, who joined up as a rating, aged 17, went on to be commissioned as an officer in 1944 and was part of the Royal Navy's Enemy Mining Section.
The elite unit was responsible for clearing harbours, ports and shorelines of unexploded ordnance left by retreating German forces.
Mr Salmon from Lymington, Hampshire, died just before Christmas.
