For a more palatable female voice, Georgia Mann who presents Words & Music, or better still Sarah Mohr-Pietsch who without a trace of accent or affectation produces wonderful clarity in a voice like hot rum & molasses.

What do you mean, 'We'?
I was only 5 years old.
Though my Dad bought me the 45 record 'Back Home' so I guess I did my bit by listening to it.
I believe that if the UK wants any more concessions under the Brexit agreement, the English team have to agree to a replay.![]()

''Back Home' was the England 1970 record.
I dont believe they had one in '66.

Any better ideas?
