A couple of years ago, I was
driving around a few days before Christmas. It was about 85 degrees outside and I was wearing shorts and a tank top.

I had my favourite radio station on listening to Christmas tunes, and what should come on but Mistletoe and Wine - the presenter announced Cliff as "The English Elvis Presley".

I laughed my ass off, and then got a bit teary-eyed and nostalgic.

Well, he was, wasn't he?
Back in the day, that's how he was marketed. Still, I wish it had been Cliff who died bloated on the loo with his trousers 'round his ankles.

Yeah, but
nobody here's ever heard of him!

I always thought it was Shakin' Stevens who was the British Elvis Presley
