Too young for this parish, but 43 year 7 month old folk had ‘Shaddup you face’ topping the charts when they were born 🤣🤣🤣

I don't think any of my children would be impressed with theirs, although Fellmouse did well to dodge Three Lions.

Cinderella Rockerfella was No.1 when I was born.

I had to Google it.

Oh dear.

Yup! 30 years is enough!

I largely zoned the whole thing out, HappyG(rrr). I was listening through my headset ... Which was hanging on the side of my desk, whilst I did something productive instead! I enjoyed the free chocolate though!

(P.S. Don't forget to listen to Dame Kelly tomorrow! What a shame I'm off. :-p )

And it's the last one I have to endure!

My friend's husband had 60 years service with the same company when he retired. He had worked his way up.
