    I adored Kathy in LOTSW. Her character was fantastic! Poor Wally had a hard life whilst Compo thought she was the bees knees!!
    Talking rubbish during their coffee mornings had me in stitches.
    Learning of her passing due to a nasty illness filled me with great sadness.
    HOWEVER!!! I enjoy the fact that LOTSW is repeated in its entirety so often, & never tire watching their antics. Nowt smutty, just comfortable watching. I even have the full box set in case they stop showing the series!!!❤️❤️💕

    She came to Dukinfield Town Hall to see Albert & the Lion . My daughter, who was a child at the time based her character around Nora Batty. She got a standing ovation and Kathy Staffs was impressed. She came and shook her hand at the end of the show.( If my memory serves me right)

    Kathy's husband Jack (John) Staff was my maths teacher at Audenshaw Grammar in the mid 60's. A mild-mannered bloke but he didn't have much patience with those who were a little slower to pick things up, like me. As for Kath, she was a lovely lady and very active in Church matters. I almost bought a house from her when I was first married in 1977. Dukinfield Crematorium is just down the road from where I live.

    Many years ago Kathy came to Norwich theatre to act in a Pantomime an a Local Radio Station interviewed her, she said she had been very busy an hadn't been able to buy some talcum powder for her aching feet, she said she was coming to Cromer next day to open some event, I met her an gave her some talc an a few toiletries, she thanked me profusely an later that week I received a hand written letter of thanks again, she was lovely and had no airs an graces about her.

      Early last year while filming another video I had a bad fall where I damaged my left knee, what I didn't realise was I also had an internal injury which lead to months of pain and suffering before the doctors did anything about it (covid 19 was their excuse) I now have Overactive Bladder Syndrome as a result of this managed by tablets, apparently it is a lifelong thing now as there is no actual cure for Overactive bladder syndrome.

    The way that people regard soap opera and comedy stars as realistic practitioners of their idea of religion is quite distressing. All right Kathy Staff was a good actress but she was not a saint and her character never existed.
