Goldings answers quiz chairman's requirements

It was congratulations all round when quiz show host Nicholas Parsons collected a new blazer from G.D. Golding (Tailors) Ltd.

Just a Minute radio quiz chairman Nicholas didn't hesitate or deviate from telling Geoffrey straight away that he had done a marvellous job on the jacket.

And then he was on the receiving end himself as Geoffrey congratulated the veteran showman on being awarded the OBE in the New Year's Honours list.

Wearing a smart blazer is a vital part of Nicholas Parsons' stage image and he pressed the garment straight into action on the BBC quiz and in his humourous one man shows around the country.

Goldings celebrated its 40th anniversary with a fundraising event for dyslexia charities and dapper Nicholas was the guest speaker. Both men have succeeded in their different fields despite early difficulties with reading and writing.
