I saw her live at The Batley Variety Club in West Yorkshire, sometime in the mid 70's. She could belt them out for sure. Still had the beehive. I guess it was part of the image which had to be maintained.

The boy done good. Not bad for someone who started off on the production team of Z cars, then went on to make classic TV adverts like this one :

Whatever he gets, he would say it was the hardest golf course anyone had ever played and he had done well, very well actually, to finish as he did. He would go on to accuse everyone else who had ever finished the course on a lower score of cheating and threaten to sue them unless they pay him.

Went to the cinema to see it in 1977. quite scary...but not as scary as Shivers, which I saw at a midnight showing in Rhyll, Wales in 1975. I was just 16 and it scared the crap out of me.

Bought a Sony Walkman in 1984. Used it without any problems until about 1998, when I made the flawed decision to move to cd. By then I had a collection of maybe 150 albums on cassette. My brother was happy though, he took the lot for peanuts
