This year’s calendar at work is a strange beast. It’s  from ‘Best of British’ magazine – a publication for nostalgic old men who can’t cope with the fact that it’s no longer 1957. Really it should be subtitled ‘why is everything different from when I was a child – why why why?’. The calendar pictures old toys, which tell you everything you need to know. It also picks out anniversaries which it considers to be of particular importance. Strangely, it chose to major on Britain winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1967 with a song which Sandie Shaw herself postively hated.

Google actually ignored the anniversary, which was yesterday. It probably wasn’t obscure enough. Google’s style would be more to wait till the 53rd anniversary and then celebrate the man who made the microphones the song was recorded with.
