Does Britain coming last in the Eurovision Song Contest mean that we are the unliked

Well yes; McDonalds do well against their competition too, but I wouldn’t give them a trophy for their contribution to gastronomy.

But would you give them a trophy for doing well against their competition?

I've read Fast Food Nation - I wont eat in McDonalds

No, I think they can afford their own.

EV

Matt Monro, Cliff Richard, Lulu, Sandie Shaw, The Shadows, Brotherhood of Man, The New Seekers, Mary Hopkin, Bucks Fizz, Black Lace and Michael Ball didn't do too badly out of it...

But hey, let's not let the truth get in the way of a sweeping generalisation, eh?

OK point taken, but that was then and this is now, and I think no act intent on success in the UK would entertain being on Eurovision because it seems the association with Eurovision would not be worth than the exposure it gives.

From what I can see the UK think EV is naff but some EU countries still take it seriously

But you got me going now .... Aaaaaah gah do do do push pineapple shake the tree, aga do do do ...
