14th October

Cliff Richard was born on this day in 1940. If you've seen recent photos of the man, you'll know this has to be a typo. He was clearly born in 1990.
Or does he have a painting of himself in the attic ...?

In other news ...

The world came to an end today - although Mother Shipton never noticed it - in 1969. The ten bob note was replaced by a nasty-foreign-looking coin called a 50p. I'd have been happier had it been called a 120p, but you can't have everything.
