Remember When Saint Cliff Richard Dominated Christmas?

The number 1 slot in the charts was almost reserved for him. But he's vanished completely.

I did spot an article about him just a couple of months back and the accompanying photo was not flattering by any means. Age seems to have caught up with him, as it does with all of us.

Oh dear, just read an article from The Independent in which Cliff's recipes for xmas gravy was described as 'vile'...grin
Maybe that's libelous too..

Elliott Grover, executive chef at the five-star Mayfair hotel 45 Park Lane, spoke in defence of Richard’s gravy mixture, and pointed out that stock cubes are an efficient way to make gravy.

Cliff said his range of expertise in the kitchen is limited to scrambled eggs, a fried egg, and a grilled cheese sandwich.

With or without gravy?

I do remember being served a beef burger, with fried egg and greasy gravy on top in hospital one Christmas Eve.

Thank God, he should have retired decades ago, needless to say was never a fan.

If you were never a fan, why would it matter if he retires or not?
He gives pleasure to loads of people, without making those who don’t like him obliged to listen or watch.
