A group of street musicians were raising money for charity by dressing as Max Boyce and singing his songs.

Then, the man himself walked past. He turned and shouted "cheeky buggers!".

He joined them for several songs.

Lovely bloke.

Lift out of order, again. It's been 3 years since it was working for more than a few days at a time.

Pathetic.

Every year, the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show was a fixture at our house in my youth.

When the time for their funerals came, both my parents had this played as we left the chapel.

#Trump is an #insane, #war-mongering, #evil man and his policies are awful.

Oh dear.

What a shame.

Nevermind.
