@handelaar.org That last thing: credit for Maggie Stredder and her singers. 🙂

Watching an ABBA special on BBC4 celebrating the UN Year of the Child in some distant era. They performed ‘Does Your Mother Know’ right before mentioning the whole rights of children thing.The lyrics could possibly get people arrested these days. #SpéirGorm

If Abba was this one of the times I remember they went off to Montreux?

(sometimes they ended up doing extra stuff at the tv festival having been sent there by Thames, which never didn't have Golden Rose noms as a point of pride. In that period they were on Benny Hill, which won something almost every year)

(The 3 men were usually Danny Street, who was from same immediate area and background as my mam, Mike Redgrave who sang nearly *every* male-sang-famous-advert of the era, and Ken Barrie, who we went on hols with when I was wee and a few years later became super-microfamous as Postman Pat...)
