It was a very windy evening tonight in Brentwood with the end of the storm that had bought so much snow in the USA. Tonight we remembered Colin Vearncombe, known as Black. He sold over two million records word wide.We also rememebred Jimmy Baid, basist with Rainbow and Dio who co-wrote Phil Lynott’s solo albums. Requests included Cat Steven’s composition Here Comes my baby, which was a big transatlantic hit for the Tremeloes. We learnt that you have until midnight Sunday to solve the puzzle on the GCHQ Christmas card. So far there have been 600,000 entries. Also Magnum and Cornetto ice creams and Ben and Jerry’s tubs and Feasts will all become smaller to ensure that the portions do not exceed 250 calories. Apparently this is ‘to help customers make healthier choices’. No comment!
