Just tap in your date of birth at this
siteBenny Hill was No 1 with 'Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West' when I appeared.
Cool or what!

That must be heartening news for Jaguar XJ6/XJ12/XJC/XJ40 drivers everywhere. I mean, this means there will be an increasing demand for these geezer vehicles!

If you find a Jag with CDSII/SPS/52/Scap/500/DBLs installed, let me know. I don't even mind if it has the steering wheel on the wrong side. If it had flip down TV and a Video capability as well then I could watch Dudley Moore and "Crazy People" at the the traffic signals. "Hello, Hello, How's the family? How's the family?" If you have seen the movie you will appreciate the significance of the above greeting and of Jaguar.

I am back from Hols and very fed up........I want to go back to the sun.
I was created in 1948 and this useless little programme stops at 1952.
I notice that all you lot were born when I was in my teens. That explains quite a lot.
I am over fifty, run a Jaguar XJC and I still don't know who was No1 on my D.O.B which is 31.12.48. Anyone able to come up with an answer.
Regards
Mick

I too was born so long ago that this site can't tell me what was No. 1 on Nov. 6, 1947. No wonder my girlfriend calls me "Old Man"! But now I've just got to find out what was No. 1 in the U.S. back then. Anyone have any idea how I can find out?

Dozy.

Chirpy cheep cheep was even worse than you imagine - and it was played incessantly for weeks on the radio etc.
Long John Baldry I quite liked

It was 'I believe' by Frankie Laine, I think I'm going to be sick.
Then I thought, ah, but I bet there was something cool at no.1 in the States, only to be told that the day I was born is not a valid date...

Bugger! What happened before 1952. The site, like potential employers and other ageists can't seem to cope with people past 50.

...was "Merry Christmas Everybody" by Slade (21/12/73)...
I think it could have been much worse

I got 'Silence is Golden' by the Tremoloes, now if that isn't an inappropriate title for a music lover I don't know what is.
In the US it was 'The Happening' by the Supremes.
Could have been a lot worse!
