My favourite song of WW2, Lilli Marlene, by Lale Andersen, a few years ago I loaned two sheets of 'Lilli' music to a 'Lilly Marlene Exibition' in Bonn,
one by 'Billy Cotton' and the other by 'Judy Shirley', Ann Shelton did a nice version too. I received a very nice 'Thank you' letter from the German veterans.

Yes folks, all you old farts get yer bayonets on the broom handle, we're all doomed I tell ye

Written during WWI but surely there's only the one definitive version?

Still a young thing in her 90's

And still making records? Now that really is phenomenal!

MsG

Bugsy,

You are a bit of a cnut - that is so funny. :D

That was entirely unintentional, Josey. I genuinely thought Dame Vera had recorded some new songs. But when I had a butcher's on t'internet, I found out that she's just re-released all her old favourites (not that I've any problem with that, of course).

Which doesn't take away from her spectacular achievement, for apparently she's the oldest person ever to be at No I. So hearty congrats indeed on that, Dame Vera, and may you enjoy an even longer life, ma'am.

MsG

Replace the word "clever" with "cheeky/fakkn" and it would be nearer the mark. :D

The only question I got right at school was;

"What speaks French, has two thumbs and likes Blojjobs?"

Moi....
