Happy 78th birthday to Bernard Collins of The Abyssinians.

Bernard recorded this legendary 7" at Studio 1 in 1971 without his fellow Abyssinians, but with Leroy Sibbles and George Henry providing the beautiful harmonies...

Let's all share this, Labour said at the end of the debate that their only reason given, was that no to #rejoin was in their manifesto. So was no to customs union and no to single market.

Thames Water has its final legal appeal to allow its £3bn loan tomorrow (at 10% interest that billpayers will pay)

If it gets it, it goes bankrupt in 6 months anyway, and you will have to pay it all

If it doesn't it goes bankrupt tomorrow

Video of late reggae singer Delroy Wilson performing one of his best-remembered tunes "Dancing Mood" live in studio in 1979. It was one of the first rocksteady tunes, recorded by an then 18 year old Wilson in 1967. Wilson died at age 46 in 1995. #Reggae m.youtube.com/watch?v=hRQg...
