	Goodness! Totally unexpected. Although not a fan of hers, it's sad that she has died at such a relatively young age.

	The first time I heard Cilla - as an unknown on 'Saturday Club', the light programme? I was impressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNYPHz8pYs0

	So sad to read this RIP Cilla xxx OH and I were still in Liverpool when she and the Beatles were starting their careers ............ we were not in any way linked in those days, but we both went to the Cavern at different times, and also both went to the Zodiac coffee lounge, which I read was another place where she worked in the early 1960s.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 766 Send Message	Hey magpie .... where did you read that ! .......... I guess from something you read on the net today ..... My brother was a driver for a TV company and many times had Cilla in the back of the car........ no way did she talk to him as a minion... believe you me, my brother as a true born cockney would have slaughtered her should she have tried that on with him !

	So you 'don't like to burst this sentimental bubble' magpie? So why post such a nasty comment? True or not there's a time and place. Why not go to digital spy and join the other mean minded posters - just thought I'd mention that.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 766 Send Message	Just like to say, that I did not RR the comment from magpie..... I have never RRd a comment on GR ......... I much prefer to leave their postings for others to read and make up their own minds. So, to whoever RRd you took offence more than I did ........ because it seem to me the comment made was posted from a source other then someone like me that has heard from 'the horses mouth' the experience of transporting Our Cilla .

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 3,307 Send Message	Never expected that...saw her on a chat show not long ago talking about the TV programme"Cilla"...she seemed fit and healthy and enjoying life. R.I.P. Cilla....so sad ..... I remember her as the cloakroom girl at the Cavern when we played there when it was a jazz club,before the Beatles were famous . <3 <3

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 766 Send Message	'I haven't written anything that hasn't been written by someone else. Check it out for yourselves!' Oh well magpie, that just confirms what I have said previously, not your personal experience.. just something you have read on the internet. We all know that people in the public eye or not perfect, just as we as private individuals are not..... In this case an Icon in the history of British entertainment has suddenly passed away and many of us I shocked by the news, and as such are expressing our feelings. So, maybe you might re-consider that your posting was not appropriate at this time.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 766 Send Message	I saw the post from magpie that someone RRd .......... Apparently she was appalled that I had used the word 'icon' regarding Cilla's history in Britain's entertainment........

	Well I find it a bit sad and unnecessary to have posted on a thread such as this one :-(
