(Does anyone really consider "Greensleeves" to be Christmas music?)

Don't think so. I consider Greensleves to be irritating BT on hold music! Laughing

Did anyone see the 2 closedown last night? The announcer said thanks to her director and said that she'd been called Frank Butcher all night Laughing

There was a rather interesting piece of Christmas music on Ceefax this morning between 5am and 6am.... it started off like the BBC Cricket theme "Soul Limbo" then changed into a Christmas song (can't remember which one though - will review the tape and tell you later)...

Further to yesterday's posting I reviewed my tape and the tune that was similar to "Soul Limbo" was The Holly & The Ivy...

Another brilliant Ceefax tune worth noting on the same morning was a dance version of the 12 days of Xmas! brilliant!
