One of your heroes?! I wasn't really into it, but I'll grant you he did give innocent joy to many kids while looking like a bit of a berk! His musical "efforts" are what I really found unforgivable though... not that there weren't a plethora of such atrocities committed around that time!

........ it's funny what a bid of clever rebranding can do. For years cider was looked down upon as a drink from down and outs and mentallers. However stick it in a brown bottle and suggest serving it over ice, then it become a for sophistacates everywhere!! thats what happened here years ago with bulmers, selling cans and flagons but charging a fortune for a bottle in the pub! but as was lovely drink, kept buying for years, only stopped when went over a €5 a bottle! when irish went away, always looked for it (called magners outside of here).... saw the demand was actually huge, now it's available pretty much everywhere! lookout for magners light very shortly.....

I agree with Billy; the bloke himself was a bit of a laugh, and he spends pretty much all his free time doing charity work now, so you can't knock him! I wonder if drinking enough cider counts towards your '5-a-day' fruit and veg total?
