@SycamoreFlint @TOTPFacts Save You Kisses spent 6 weeks at No.1 - that’s why.

@modonnell49 @TOTPFacts In the late 90s TOTP had acts on consecutive weeks even if they were going down the charts. One reason for this was the fact that singles entered the charts high and then dropped the following week.

@Benno1uk @SaucySeventies No, they’re looking at the option of selling the high street retail arm of the business.

@soult My record shop used to be opposite the side of Woolworths, on a few occasions staff would come across to me and ask me to go up the lift tower and close the outside door which often used to blow open in strong winds, because they were too scared to go on the roof!

@soult Wish I’d known you were popping through, I could have met you.

Don’t see this Anglia front and end cap very often. @Rob_Lubbock @TalkingPicsTV

[Martin Jarvis @timebarrier]

@Rob_Lubbock I always saw this as Anglia’s version of Southern’s Out of Town.

@StanFranks3 @YesterdaysBrit1 We had one here in my home town of Ashby de la Zouch. As kids we tried to push all the buttons at once to get as many lights on at once!

@Rob_Lubbock @itvanglia One of the three remaining ITV franchises still in their original studio buildings. The others being Yorkshire and the old HTV West studio in Bristol.
