Sad also to hear that controversial Lewisham-born writer on the paranormal/ evolutionary theory etc, Stan Gooch died recently. Actually it was on Monday 13th September, a date that probably would have had much significance for Gooch. I didn't find out until yesterday after finding his November obituary in the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/books-obituaries/8110857/Stan-Gooch.html
