RIP Peter Stringfellow

I am surprised that many people dont know about him, thought he was a household name.
Maybe its just the seedier households :p

to be fair he's not really as relevant these days as he was a couple decades ago. was highly visible when the clubs started, resurfaced if a celeb was seen there etc etc but these days he was hardly a media must-see.
 
I delivered a load of tableware to the Covent Garden club in early 2000, Peter signed for my delivery after I’d stopped him and asked him to do so (not knowing who he was at the time!) he was remarkably down to earth we got chatting , he asked my name and we chatted briefly about Stoke and the pottery industry up there.
He offered me some complementary tickets for that night, I didn’t take him up on the offer - wish I had - delivered there again about a year later and he just happened to be there and see me “Hi Paul, how’s Stoke?” - Quite a guy.

RIP.
 
I wonder who the first #metoo claim will come from? Out his alleged thousand plus conquests there's gotta be a gold digger / attention seeker around who needs a bob or two from the papers :( He embodied all that was fun in the seventies and eighties, a time before a touch on the knee or backside, or a bawdy comment caused fits of the vapours and specious claims of unremitting mental damage.

He created jobs for thousands of young women, no doubt including many single mothers in need.

Seriously though, he seemed like a decent enough guy and an entertaining character despite the dubious business he was in. I fear for sales of leopardprint now though, probably gonna take a nosedive.
