Title: Re: Anita Roddick Post by: Graham C on September 11, 2007, 12:34:34 AM oh my Goodness, I'm shocked too!
Blimey My missus thinks she's great, I'll have to let her know. Rest in peace indeed. Title: Re: Anita Roddick Post by: ifm on September 11, 2007, 12:58:52 AM Wow, what did she die of?
Nothing ironic i hope. Title: Re: Anita Roddick Post by: redimp on September 11, 2007, 01:17:01 AM Wow, what did she die of? Nothing ironic i hope. Roddick died suddenly of a major brain haemorrhage around 6.30pm on September 10, 2007, having been admitted to St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, the previous evening suffering from a severe headache .

It won't happen again.
Title: Re: Anita Roddick Post by: maxward on September 11, 2007, 11:02:11 AM Never really a fan of her brand. Her activism and enthusiasm was clearly something to be respected, in fact when you see how much change and influence one persons aspirations can exact; you cant help but feel a little inadeqaute with your own day to day life.

It won't happen again. There's no controversial posts on here are there? I think most people will feel the same. Title: Re: Anita Roddick Post by: kinboshi on September 11, 2007, 02:14:36 PM I saw the news and was going to post a thread about it too. 64 pretty young these days - and she seemed to be a decent person who'd obviously achieved a hell of a lot, without crapping over other people in the process.
