DEAD "TV astrologer Margaret Lake, better known as Mystic Meg, has died aged 80. She was a well-known TV figure in the 1990s, appearing on the National Lottery, and has written horoscopes for the Sun for more than two decades. According to the newspaper, Lake died in the early hours of Thursday morning after being admitted to hospital last month after suffering from flu. Her agent Dave Shapland said: "Without any question, she was Britain's most famous astrologer by a million miles." (BBC website)

It astonishes me that there are people who still actually believe in horoscopes. She did. It paid her bills.

Modern day Nostradamus. I believe there was some entertainment value when she appeared with Anne Diamond on whatever daytime show. Those were the days - RIP.

It really is tripe and onions. On a visit to see Macbeth at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon I recall being rather forthright with a lady when she enquired about my star sign and she did not appreciate my riposte.My dear wife did conclude I was somewhat gruff with her.A contretemps ensued and the lady disappeared into the mist like Banquo's ghost.
