In my late teens, during the long Summer holidays from university, I spent one Summer working on a rifle range in a fairground. Directly opposite was one of those gloomy halls which contained dozens of "bandits" and a jukebox. All the girls used to go in and put sixpence in the jukebox and they all seemed to select the same song!! Cliff Richard singing "Living Doll"... I'm sure I do not need to say any more....However, I have wonderful memories of the daydream I used to have of the perpetrator standing before me while I wielded a rifle. In my dream state I used to try to determine the best note on which to pull the trigger!!

I don't mind music in supermarkets as long as it's not too loud - had to go into Asda late last night and the music was so LOUD - we were literally nearly shouting at each other...

I like Christmas music but some of the songs are not very pleasant, so I try to play what I like...

And as for my favourite one - it's one which almost all the radio stations overlook yet carries a lovely message as well as being a jolly good tune.... it's this one:

Cliff Richard singing "Living Doll"...

Or, as I call him, Rift Pilchard.

Or, as I call him, Rift Pilchard.

That was the feller who sang: "...a crying, talking, screaming, squawking raggy doll" ! That's the only decent version of it which I recall from our parodies at the time...
