    I can't remember now whether I liked him or not. I'm thinking 'not' at the moment but can't be 100% sure. Was he like a male Ann Widecombe?

    Isn't he the one, who back in the eighties, said that a woman wearing a mini was 'Asking for it' regarding rape?

    Back in the PC-gone-mad Britain of the 80s, he didn't make a lot of friends with his views. But what he said seems to be in line with quite a few opinions of today, especially on difficult subjects like prostitution, soft drugs, judiciary

    Yeah he said 'Those women in miniskirts are asking for it. Phwooaaarrr... I'd give 'em one given half the chance...' :D Well he was probably thinking that.

    He's survived by his actress daughter Carolyn Pickles.

    "Spin Spin Spin the Wheel of Justice! See how fast the bastard turns!"

    Sorry, that always springs to mind when I hear about Judge Pickles...

    Absolutely.

    Thankfully he wasn't a PC-liberal or a hippy.
