Copey fans all over the country have sent congratulatory messages and gifts to the self-styled "champion survivor" of the Faculty, who was 84 yesterday.

"A considerable number won't return, although they now think they will," he said. "It's difficult to return to academic rules, having your days planned by other people, when you've been out on your own."
