In reply to Jim C:
> I must confess to not watching it these days .But I did when Mary Hopkins won, and on previous years ( there was not much choice back then)
It was a fair time ago (47 years, in fact) so you can perhaps be forgiven for not remembering that there was no "s" in her name. Less forgivable is not remembering that Dana actually won it that year, with Mary Hopkin coming second after being the favourite to win before the show went out.
Dana, of course, later became an MEP. So she's obviously a greedy, expenses-fiddling fat-cat eurocrat with no redeeming features whatsoever. Or something.
The UK last won Eurovision twenty years ago this year. (Anyone remember something else fairly momentous that happened in the UK 20 years ago, which is unlikely to happen this year?)
