I'll raise a toast for Jack

I had the pleasure in meeting Mr Hargreaves in the 70`s, when I attended my Horticultural College, a very interesting and informative gentleman. I can also thoroughly recommend the biography, Jack Hargreaves: A Portrait. Its a good read, and it goes a long way to explain the his varied life and the man behind the TV persona .....

I have a nice picture of Jack in my wall case and seeing him as I walk by brings back many happy memories for me. He inspired me so much through his TV programme, he was in my living room. Thank you Jack

Watching from 3000 miles away now, used to watch every show back then, brings back many memories.... nowt like it. RIP Jack hope they are all big un's now, one of the best.

I was another Out of Town Addict, that and How!

My interest in fishing was sparked by OOT when I was very young looked a great thing to do, took me till I was 14 to start though.

So thanks for an absorbing pastime Jack.

Just re-read this post... after watching some great programs on YouTube, good old Jack, and how fitting to pass away on "The close of the season"
