[edit] 40-a-day habit

You are quite right, the reference I gave didn't say it. I saw it somewhere else first and then tried to find a better reference, which I misread. I've found a valid one now: http://www.ash.org.uk/html/policy/rcp40threport.html

"Dimbleby, who was to die of lung cancer within four years, said he had quit his 40-a-day habit just six weeks earlier." --JRawle 18:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Did not attend a major public school"?

According to the article, he went to Mill Hill School, which makes the later assertion that he did not attend a major public school rather odd. I have no particular axe to grind about this school, but it is clearly a public (i.e. independent) school of long standing. Albeit a nonconformist school in the religious sense, attendance there hardly makes a person not an establishment figure. Rachel Pearce (talk) 10:24, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
