Happy 17th Birthday to Ellie,
I am sure that you will have

you have done in the past one.

Your quiz question is:-
Who is the great 1980's UK pop
star, coming originally from
Ipswich, and who many years
ago was a friend and work
colleague of Uncle David ?
Clues:
a) on turning professional
he slightly altered his very
ordinary first name by
dropping one letter from
its four letters to three.
b) he featured in the "Live Aid"
Ethiopia famine relief concert
at Wembley stadium in 1985.
Little known fact:
On turning professional, which
was when he left our work place
the Unemployment Benefit Office
in Ipswich, he said to Uncle David
"Dave I'm going to leave to pursue
my music career, would you like to
become my Roadie?" (That's the guy
who sets up the stage and all the
electrical cables). However before
I could reply YES he continued
"...but I can't pay you". So I
said NO. What a mistake that was!
