Clarissa Dickson Wright

A larger than life character - with a wicked sense of humour !

Re: Clarissa Dickson Wright

66 is no age, cannot say that I liked her style of cookery but as you say she was larger than life.

Re: Clarissa Dickson Wright

I didn't agree with much she said but RIP Clarissa a big character.

I would imagine her alcoholism shortened her life though it certainly aged her as I thought she was much older.

How sad. I met her a couple of times briefly and she was a lovely person. RIP.

Re: Clarissa Dickson Wright

A great intelligence with a great irreverence, and as Meg says one of the old school.

RIP Clarissa.

Re: Clarissa Dickson Wright

I liked her, always enjoyed watching the Two Fat Ladies, they had such humour and very non PC at times! R.I.P Clarissa.

Yes, I love this quote:

"If you're fat you're fat. I hate this modern-day political correctness, that you don't call things by their proper name," she told The Guardian.

RIP Clarissa.
