Ahh, Saturday mornings will never be quite the same.


Michael was the proper musician from the band.
Also:
His mum invented typewriter correction fluid (Other brands are available). Not a lot of people know that.

I absolutely love the impressions Phil Cornwell used to do of Michael Caine in the incomparable Stella Street. Top quality stuff

John Morgan, drummer of the living legends (well here in the West country anyway) The Wurzels  .

Also Sir Richard Rogers, architect.
