Well, happy Christmas everybody.
But todays tale is one of nastiness and commercialisation.
Over dinner, listening to Christmas music, we ended up asking that inevitable question - when was the last Christmassy UK number one?
First we jumped back to Slade, to Shaking Stevens...then Cliff with Mistletoe and Wine...Saviours day...and then....um....
So, being the kind of people we are, we looked up the answer on Wikipedia. And it turns out we were right, just about.
With the single exception of Band Aid 20 - which to be honest, doesn't count because it was a group effort charity gig, the last CHRISTMAS number one was Cliff Richard. In 1990.
17 years ago.
Yep, we were right.
Cliff Richard Killed Christmas.
No. Bad Alter. No pudding for you. He didn't kill Christmas.
That was Mr Blobby.
