The "which famous person died today" thread

The best thing about the HBs was their lack of pretension. Decent cooks and top mates.
I think they met when making TV programmes. Iirc, Dave was a make up artist and Si was a cameraman. How they became cooks, I’ve no idea.
RIP Dave Myers.

Met both of them in the Kings Arms about 8 years ago, both of them were sound and even got the beers in. Think they were filming in the pub earlier that day for something

Hate cooking programmes, with the exception of Hairy Bikers. Very entertaining show and the two of them buzzed off each other. Only a year older than me ffs. RIP Dave

I think his biggest success was that of being a communicator. I mean talking whilst cooking when not being a pro at either must have been daunting but Dave was such a natural I think anyone who watched them felt they had known Dave Myers as a good mate for years.

My mum met Dave and Si in The Olde Boars Head in Middleton as they were filming something about old pubs in Manchester.

Apparently they were absolute gents, talking to the locals, having pictures taken ect.

They even bought everyone in the pub a drink!!

RIP Dave
