Re: RIP Mr. Franglais
A professional to the end.
Last line of the article
"The last thing Miles Kington did before dying, quite swiftly and unexpectedly, was to deliver his copy on time"

Re: RIP Mr. Franglais
According to my Mum, today's Indie has 'Miles Kington is a away' in it where his column should be. That's one way of putting it. RIP.

Re: RIP Mr. Franglais
The Times ran one of his columns from the 80's as a tribute.
