Get with it Granddad! One Direction (or 1D as we hipsters know them) are the grooviest cats laying down grooves. They blast out tunes like .. then one that goes ... you know. And they're style icons all of 'em - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch.

In my, (ahem) younger days....I was under the misapprehension that the above mentioned group were.....
Dave - Dee - Dozy - Beaky - Mick & Titch.......and  wondered why there was always one of them missing when they appeared on Top Of The Pops.  :D

There used to be 6 members, but the could not afford the extra comma and drew lots. Poor Dee had to leave and Dave Prendergast had to change his name by deed poll to "Dave Dee".

Having said that Dee had a happy life as a hairdresser in Penge. Owned a shop on the High Street and bred show poodles with his wife, who was also called Dee. In their local, the Velvet Pantaloon, they were known as the "double Dees". In his unpublished memoire he says that he was a bit sad to have missed out on the success of the group, but felt that the lack of contribution (mostly triangle and maraca) was the cause of the short lived success of the group. "Lacked punch", he said.

Dee still performs with the Penge Amateur Singers. In fact last year, his Mr Bumble was well received at the Townwomen's Guild. Sadly, he is no longer with Dee, who in the late '80's ran off with a Pommeranian breeder from Pommerania.

Dee does feel that his was maneuvered out of the group, accusing Dozy of having stashed away a comma and saying that Beaky's mum had a comma she never used.

One Direction? Sorry, I thought it was One Erection, a comment on a dysfunction problem shared by all but one of them.
