Biffa was founded in Wembley by Richard Henry Biffa as Richard Biffa Limited, in 1912. Sadly Biffa died in 1955. More than any month since I started “Weather you were”, it seemed every time I turned on the radio or picked up a newspaper someone else had died. Towering above all others, my own personal hero Ozzy Osbourne on the 22nd. RIP Ozzy, now up there with Bon and Lemmy.
