The Official David Dickinson Website
Ten More Things You Didn't Know

1. Does the Lotto

Every week! If David won his get away destination would be Los Ayalas beach - Mexico and his ideal companion ? His wife Lorne of course.

2. Said 'There are no Bargains any more......

If you want something good, you've got to pay for it." David Dickinson in Arts and Antiques Weekly way back in 1979.

[Thanks to Diane Lewis for this photo & article which she found in a magazine bought at a local antique market! Was itas 'cheap as chips' ? She didn't say.]

3. Most prized possession is an ornament of the Liberty Bell

It was a gift from his late Grandmother, she believed it was cast from the original Liberty Bell but David later learned that this isn't so. Yet despite it's small monetary worth he considers it invaluable.

4. Doesn't follow a beauty regime

David says 'I shower, use a bit of shampoo, get the hairdryer out and brush the old mop back'

David is so busy filming these days that when he does get chance to relax at home he loves to watch his big screen TV with his feet up. He doesn't enjoy soaps and prefers old films. And he's not averse to few Bargain Hunt re-runs!

6. Never does the cooking!

Sorry ladies, (may I call you girls?) whatever your fantasies you won't catch
Mr Dickinson wearing a frilly apron because he's not big on household chores. He says 'Not because I'm lazy or chauvinistic' - he's just an old fashioned guy!

7. Is the "Greatest Living Englishman No 72" !

That's according to Loaded Magazine who describe David as "Tabacco permatanned with a proud badger bouffant...like a mutant hybrid Arthur Daley and some check clothed thing out of 'The Wind In The Willows!'" Wow! What do you think Bargain Hunters?

9. His star sign is Leo the lion

Lorne says when they first met 'David's hair reminded me of a lion' . And David describes himself as 'a typical Leo male'.
Well they are very passionate, sun lovers, gregarious, generous and fond of the good life!

10. David Dickinson Rocks!

He enjoys Led Zeppelin, Queen and U2, but then again he also likes the music of Mariah Carey and Celine Dion!!!
