Nonsense opinion aside, how many levels of indie were there? Factory famously had no contracts (or claimed as such) and Bis were “unsigned” despite being on Chemikal Underground? Then there were the likes of Nude and Hut who were aligned with majors and then Creation got into bed with Sony.

In return I’ll give you a nerdy factoid that the original release is 35 years old tomorrow!

Gotta agree. The likes of Sykes, Likely Lads, Porridge, Steptoe were all great and often resembled one act two-handers with occasional characters dropping in. Think Detectorists is the closest there’s been in recent memory. Must be a rising comic out there ready to resurrect the format.

No lyrics though. Guess we could sing the words to A Question of Sport over it?

One of the three great first lines of Christmas singles.
“Are you hanging up your stocking on the wall?”
“It was Christmas Eve, Babe”
“It’s tough and it’s lonely in top management…”

Expected all the comments to be about how the poster meant to use “thrifty”. It’s the only contentious thing about it.
