Unfortunately it seems to me if you want to wear ethical British made clothing then you’re better off learning how to sew and making them yourself using recycled fabrics or shopping carefully in fabric stores. There are more places in my town where you can buy fabric than there are ready made...

No more than you should be judged on thinking the people who pay double/triple/quadruple for the sake of a prestigious name are daft. Works both ways, we all have our reasons, financial or otherwise as to what we buy and where we buy it from.

Today I finally got my refund through, considering I sent the coat back on the 21st of August by tracked mail, that I ended up chasing up at the post office because their website was playing up so I couldn't track it. They were able to tell me that the parcel had been received by them, so in...

Do you know what, the Waterboys stood in for Michael Bolton as headliners at the Rewind festival a few years ago, I was so looking forward to Bolton as imo he's so bad he's good, anyway he couldn't make it and the Waterboys filled in as a replacement - I was literally gutted as I had only heard...

Has anybody got any gigs in the pipeline? If so who are you gonna see and where are you going?

I don't see the point unless you get a seat right at the front, and of course afford the eyewatering price for the ticket, and I'm most certainly past the days of standing for the duration of a gig - Gone are the days when bands and artists toured smaller towns as well as the big cities. Had...

I would probably say that Only when you leave is my favourite Spandau ballet song, along with Through the barricades, but I love True, Gold etc and the early stuff like to cut a long story short...like the Blur/Oasis rivalry in my day it was more of a Duran Duran/Spandau Ballet camp. As much as...

My fave Billy Joel songs are Anthony's song (moving out), Piano man, My life, River of dreams and Downeaster Alexa. I like most of his stuff tbh- The only one I'm not so keen on is we didn't start the fire. Whilst I'm here - let's hear it for 10cc - bliddy love 'em!

Thinking back to the old days, when there was no such thing as "online" if a concert was popular people would literally have to queue up outside the box office and if necessary they'd have to camp outside over night and once they'd gone they'd gone. Sometimes you could buy tickets in places like...

I'd vaguely heard of the Human league before Don't you want me came out so I can't comment on their stuff prior to that but yes it's a typical example of an overplayed song that ends up defining the band. Spandau Ballet is a band I absolutely love and I've got nothing against Gold at all but...

I don't mind uptown girl but for me it's a rousing song that me and my mates would stomp around the dancefloor to in the 1980's bellowing out the lyrics and pumping our arms into the air so happy memories there, but it's not typical of what I love about his music. What I love beside the fact...

I remember back in 2014 when there was a huge clamour to get tickets to see Kate Bush on her one off set of concerts - Now Kate Bush is someone I absolutely love and yes I would've loved to have seen her as I never got the opportunity to see her back in the day. I didn't even bother to attempt...

The whole Britpop scene left me cold if I'm honest. I've got a pretty varied taste in music but my heart is really in the 1970's especially the disco era. I went through a mod patch in my mid teens so I developed a love for 1960's music and bands like the Jam and the Who but there's so much...

I absolutely HATE Oasis so there was never any chance of my clamouring to get tickets but then again I would never pay out for any concert taking place in a Stadium or huge venue such as the O2, for me it's as much about the overall experience than it is the money. The prices are crazy of...

Anyone here a Corrie watcher - I'm just about to be an ex corrie watcher as it's been going down the pan for years but I really think it's hit rock bottom. There are too many unlikeable/criminal characters too much crime and violence, illness and distress. The storylines go on far too long that...

Another one I never liked was Dame Edna possibly another Marmiter!

Exactly - I know we've moved on from the past and on the whole I agree with a lot of what's going on to stop racism/sexism/homophobia etc BUT why create new problems instead? So somebody thought you were a guy and you just brushed it off and got on with the rest of your day instead of having a...

I actually went to see Lee Evans not my choice but we were given 2 tickets as a present from OH's niece, strange because we've never mentioned that we like him, and whilst I was never that fussed OH actually can't stand him, so he said look you go and give my ticket to one of your mates so...

I remember going to see Roy Chubby Brown back in the mid 1980's - I think I laughed at one of his jokes, but the crowd I went with thought that he was absolutely hilarious, I kinda knew it wasn't gonna be my thing because of all the awful language but I was persuaded and my boyfriend paid...

What are people's general opinion of Miriam Margolyes? I get the impression she's "marmite". Funnily enough her farting and dodgy comments are on paper right up my street but I just can't bear the woman for some reason! I know this is pretty wrong of me to say this but most "funny women"...
