Sinister: John Ketley is a weatherman
John Ketley is a weatherman - dunno who sang it (and so is Michael Fish)
Will you still speak to me...?
Claire
It was by "A Tribe of Toffs" - apparently a bunch of A-level or first year university students, or something, who had been watching kids BBC in the mornings and were inspired by the 11 o'clock break for the weather. As I was also between terms at the time, I too was watching kids TV and remember when they first played it, "as a bit of a larf." One of those odd moments in your life when you realise that some things can be so crap that they're ace. I never bought it though. As for still speaking to you: although the other stuff you mentioned was quite poor, I think we all knew of its existance, and should share your shame. Remembering John Kettley Is A Weatherman, however, gets you _huge_ bonus points in my book.

i just assumed all of us are imagining this very sight at all times of all days and nights. it's only natural, after all, isn't it? someone else wrote about the tribe of toffs: i too remember that record, and remember thinking when i first heard it that it was, basically, The Chesterfields. Which was very strange since it was getting so much airplay and the Chesterfields, well they quite clearly never did. at least not in the day time. and not on TV. Which isn't a bad thing, just odd. Um, and i also remember being shocked that the first Lightning Seeds single 'Pure' was such a hit, because it was basically something that Sarah records could have released. Ah, the vagaries of Pop. Don't you just love them? B&S content? i still hate those bloody bagpipes but everything else i do love. to bits. and pieces.
