Which is the only single that has been Christmas number 1 twice performed by the same artist? Means Band Aid, Band Aid II and Band Aid 20 are classed as different artists.

Do you have anything by Tyrannosaurus Rex, (before they shortened it to just T. Rex)? I used to have a vinyl album of theirs titled "Unicorn". Lost that decades ago, but found the CD of it in a charity shop a few years ago. I'd never sell it on now.One of my favourite 70s bands and albums!

Speaking of Christmas jumpers the club shop still has them as 'coming soon'. Leaving it a bit late aren't they?My Christmas jumper keeps giving me electric shocks , I took it back to the shop they let me have a new one free of charge
Heard it in some shop i was in yesterday said to an assiisant standing by can you complement whoever pick the tape or whatever on their selection.She said she liked it although she had not heard it before. I recomended she listened to some older music . Might have a new Chuck Berry fan.

Don't apologise mate, you've done your work. My wife and I both work for the NHS, this is the second Christmas in a row that we have both been off Christmas eve and Christmas night, although we have done 20 odd between us over the years .Soz, Daz.

Not Christmas until i have heard this - goosebumps everytime!morning troops health and happiness to you all
I was a bus driver in Cov during most of the 1980's. My "summer holiday" always seemed to be around March or April. I can't remember having a Christmas period off either. Just Christmas Day then back on Boxing Day. Then had to work a shift on New Years day, so hats off to you Daz. I bow down to all NHS workers. They've saved my life on four occasions in the past. My niece is a HART paramedic up in Scotland. So proud of her. Her mum (my sister) was killed in a car crash in 1972, and I believe that's why she chose this vocation.Don't apologise mate, you've done your work.
