Thanks Yorkie! Roy Wood, writer of the first song ever to be played on Radio 1, has never made a penny out of it. Why?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSX282vQSAs very interesting story..... especially as it was a favourite of mine at the time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6960296.stm In a promotional stunt, for the record a postcard was released with a cartoon of a naked Harold Wilson, linking him to his secretary Marcia Williams. Wilson sued, and the High Court ordered that all royalties from the song were donated to a charity of Wilson's choice: YALTIES Friends of D'Oyly Carte University of Huddersfield A Soviet poster exhibition Liverpool Tate Variety Club Jewish National Fund for Israel British Film Institute British Screen Advisory Council Attlee Foundation Oxford University Joyce Butler Memorial Trust 33 Signals Unit Central Lads Club Ratlingate Scout Appeal Whitehall Choir Victor Brusa Memorial Appeal St Mary's Ladies' Lifeboat Guild Oxford Operatic Society Lloyd George Parliamentary Centenary Appeal Bolton Lads Club Tring Lane Workshops
Could well be true, I was newly married in '69 and living in Brockley in SE London! How can the number 7 be used 8 times to equal 100 without using any other number?
Very good Ak, not what I planned but it is correct! My way (7 + 7) divided by 7 = 2 then 2 to the power of 7 = 128 then minus 7 minus 7 minus 7 minus 7 Over to you Ak!
