Remember you have to be a tad careful what you say on here about this, it could be thought libellous.

We don't want all you GNers serving time.

Oh, I thought glass meant you had all been talking about an allegation of some sort, and when she had it had come to light I got even more confused!

Hope it wasn't recorded, Ana , but no tape recorders were around that I could see!

We were saying something on the lines that Cliff has had a long and unblemished career as a non-gay unmarried pop singer.

It was really only a matter of time, wasn't it. No. I am not saying I think there is anything untoward here, (without further information,) but as everyone says, why has it taken so long, and these 'historical' accusations seem to be happening more and more often. Gossip is a dangerous thing.

Apparently he has issued a statement saying that he has known about the allegation for some time but did want to dignify it with a response. Or something like that.

You mean you recorded it? shock

elegran marelli that conversation we had in Newcastle about CR appears to be coming to light.

Computors, maybe!

If this is in respect of an alleged office dating back to the 1980's why are they searching his property now? What do they expect to find?

Once again you think, Why has it taken so long for that person to come forward?

Will there be others I wonder?

Oh dear. hmm

It can't be Cliff though - can it?

I heard on the 1 o'clock news that police are searching the Berkshire home of Cliff Richard regarding an alleged sex offence with a boy, aged under 16, dating back to the 1980's.

DD3 aged 27 is in shock and was heard to say 'What is the world coming to, it will be Terry Wogan and Bruce Forsyth next!'

It will be interesting to see whether the fact that it has been reported on television brings any more victims to the fore.
