I can't stand his sickly sweet music. The most embarrassing moment in many a year was seeing my dad do a karaoke of 'summer holiday' in a restaurant in Rome a few years ago while wearing his favourite pringle sweater and yellow socks.
Totally impressed that you dad has a pair of sir Cliffs yellow socks and Cliffs favourite pringle sweater
I take exception to him proclaiming himself such a virtuous Christian but releasing an album every year at christmas to maximise sales from the blue-rinsed brigade whilst brown nosing the rich and powerful at his lavish Caribbean retreat
good points, well made.
Giving Mr & Mrs B'Liar free holidays convinced me he was a poor judge of character.
I think an Obligatory Dwarfer quote is needed.:
Future Kryten: Kryten, we're epicures now. We travel through history enjoying the very best time has to offer.
Future Rimmer: Dolphin sweetmeats, roast suckling elephants, baby seal hearts stuffed with dove pate. Food fit for emperors!
Future Lister: We socialize with all of the greatest figures in history -- the Hapsburgs, the Borgias ...
Future Kryten: Why, only last week, Louis the Sixteenth threw a banquet especially in our honour.
Future Rimmer: The man is a complete delight -- urbane, witty, charming ...
Kryten: He was an idiotic despot who lived in the most obscene luxury while the working classes starved in abject poverty.
Future Rimmer: Well, we certainly didn't see any of that while we were there!
Future Kryten: And his wife's an absolute cutie.
Future Cat: I think they're our favourite hosts. If you don't count the Hitlers.
Kryten: The who?!
Future Rimmer: Providing you avoid talking politics, they're an absolute hoot.
Kryten: You're good friends with the Hitlers?!
Future Kryten: It's just a social thing. We don't talk about his work. We just have a few laughs, play canasta, and enjoy the odd game of mixed doubles with the Goerings.
Kryten: I don't believe what I'm hearing!
Future Rimmer: Look, you have to understand -- we travel back and forth throughout the whole of history, and naturally we want to sample the best of everything. It's just a bit unfortunate that the finest things tend to be in the possession of people who are judged to be a bit dodgy.

"virtuous Christian" is an oxymoron. The rest was redundant.
I rather admire Mr Richard's music career. He does what he does, has made a good few bob from it, and he means no harm.
However, what I do take exception to is that he's a Labour Luvvie.

Yeah, right. Sure you weren't standing in front of a full length mirror?

Alternatively, they could play Cliff on an endless loop and have a collection box on the counter inviting customers to insert £1 for them to turn him off for the duration of their visit
