I spoke with him prior to the lockdown as I wanted to collect some heavy stuff
He told me that he was seriously ill & said he didn’t think he would be about for much longer after Christmas
I was short for words & wished him best as much as you can when you are landed in that situation
Other than that - I know no more

A friend spoke to John on the phone this afternoon - they have been friends since he was a student of John’s when he was a teacher decades ago. John is hanging on but the doctors have been unable to diagnose or find a cause for his ailments. He is direly ill.
He has my sympathy...I've known Bantam John for years and though some find him hard to deal with I've never had a problem personally...Life can change quickly..Ian
Definately not one of my favourite people to deal with, particularly by mail
But I would not wish PSP on my worst enemy.
The only good thing sbout it is thst when terminal it is mercifully fast.
Had a family member die from it , took just over 5 months where as it took my mother 12 years to die inch by inch from the toes up .
Bantam John has died his stock has passed to his friend Andy Johnson, it is not known as yet whether he will continue selling parts or the whole lot will be sold off
