Quick apology and quick posting here - as i'm not going to have access to the internet tomorrow because i'm off work - which makes Thursday a Virtual Friday.
As it happens the future of TFF is currently under review - i really don't know how you guys manage to post about similar subjects/themes on specific days each week and applaud you all: my brain must be too random.
Anyway: i was watching this programme on comedy songs and they played a bit of this by Victoria Wood - who is, in every sense of the word, an annoyingly talented individual. Watch it, enjoy: if you don't laugh at least once there's something wrong with you
Points will be awarded for every faded 80s TV star UK readers spot, or for my transatlantic readers - for every bad perm-hairdo

Victoria Wood is one of those guilty pleasures. I can't help but find her proper working class war-time humour extremely funny and appealing and lovely and quaint. She is such a talented person, as you say, in fact she could be one of the last bastions of british-ness left (true britishness, not the nasty B,N.P bollocks). I'd forgotten all about this song, cheers for the reminder :-)
This was pretty funny. There were times when I couldn't understand was she was saying though.
That was pretty good the way she was focused on the singing without really paying attention to her piano playing, which didn't fail.
English - indeed: it still makes me laugh after all this time
Watercats - there is a certain smell of seaside holidays of bygone days with Victoria Wood - but i agree that she may well represent the last of the old style england
Samurai - i was a little concerned that some of the jokes or the accent might be lost on the transatlantic audience. As you say though - she's a very accomplished musician
I adore Victoria Wood. No matter how many times I see her (saw her, she's not on a lot now) perform she always creases me up.
Thanks for the reminder.
And DO keep on writing, you're good at it.
