That originally that song was it was actually conceived as a ballad written as a ballad and then they sort of that decided to a give it that that disco sound and of course it became a massive hit for the for Harold Melvin in the Blue Notes featuring a very famous drama called El Yunque it came to prominence in the early part of the seventy's as a part of the Philly soul sound and and Young was the founding member and leader of the trumps massive band and I want us to want to have as a 9 minutes past 5 tomorrow on the weather front is going to be wet and unsettled so so we'll have these Sherry outbreaks of rain and they could be heavy at times along with a brisk a southerly wind but tomorrow will be a much milder day I mean get this the maximum temperature for Friday is $8.00 to $11.00 degrees so 46 to 52 found hide let's have a look a bit further afield. Sorry that was tomorrow's Thursday is now I'm getting ahead of myself 1st so Friday outbreaks of heavy rain in the morning clearing away to the north and they'll be followed by Sunny spouse in the chance of a few showers Saturday should then see largely dry conditions although the rain looks likely to push in from the south in the evening Sunday then looks largely dry with bright or sunny spells.

And. They sort of every year they write comments in the concerts or getting a bit of follow up now joke sometimes clever rhymes and John I obsess about saving cash and over the years the messages have included things like over to you in 92. And the saving is my in 79 and another the the messages on the card reads my latest entry to you my mates happy Christmas the 1st of AC and a party it all started in 1975 a Mr Pearson Ray. First sent the father the Christmas card to a Mr forward Steve and decided to post it back to him as a joke but despite both being for my role my work is as I say the pan out how to deliver the cod which is looking a bit battered by the look of it because they don't trust it you know not to get lost or damaged in the panel.

That's lovely and they can call the Christmas song but youthful it done this study looking at the some of the traditions of Christmas past and some of the ones of going out of fashion. And it's revealed to me various things but that the traditional occurs at parties Christmas like rituals are falling by the wayside like for instance. 86 percent of people will be ditching the custom this year of hanging mistletoe in their home that's way out of vogue and 94 percent as saying that they wouldn't dream of going carol singing. Some Smith and Mani to dancing with a stranger 21 minutes past 5 that happy well this morning Wednesday December the 18th so yes 8086 percent of people will be ditching you know honey mistletoe up in their homes 94 percent according to this survey of funny af I'm enough for a 2000 people. 94 percent say they wouldn't dream of going carol singing What has it got nearly 8 in 10 about 78 percent won't bother watching the Queen's speech this year even. Prefer it to watch Netflix box sets and only 22 percent will insist on having a real Christmas tree down and some traditions may already be behind us with their no no it's not with only 16 percent of us making a trip to watch a pancho according to this this study. As I say of 2000 people it's revealed that only 15 percent of the nation will decorate their homes with Holly and handmade marbles or a thing of the past with just one in 10 of us creating traditional paper chains hard to member those at school specially and just. Sort of join them together make them yourself and sort of like the end of the paper. So anyway one in 10 will be creating traditional paper pens and just 19 percent will be bothering to make a Christmas cake. Ok John Farnham you're the voice. I mean you are the voice for just some minutes past 5. Breakfast after 6 this morning Wednesday December the 18th and this is this you know this survey we're not going at it some things are a sort of here to stay my Christmas traditions which is it's good because it says in this world of like instant messaging. That 74 percent of people shun social media and prefer to have to write and post Christmas cards and that's still healthy isn't it rather than like pinging out to a Merry Christmas post or something like that and they'll be 60 percent of the country wouldn't dream of celebrating without mince pie in hand now great stuff I've been doing that for weeks now when do they 1st start to hitting the shops mints by August. When I was so we got here almost 60 percent of people 58 percent will be tucking into Turkey for the traditional Christmas lunch this year and 67 percent said to pull a cracker this Christmas Day Well you've got to look on the bright side and despite the healthy eating the healthy eating trend they're saying that 88 percent of Brits Every hour in the long Maria. They were talking just before 5 o'clock of a where they are up about how hot it is of the moment to stray leader and they got like temperatures 40 degrees plus I think I mentioned 41 of 42 degrees and what have we got at the moment to 2 degrees I would say would you would you prefer to be like hotter or colder he was sort of hot or cold type us I think I prefer the 2 degrees or go out on a. So head of weather will be a little bit later on as usual to have you know look at the weather in detail in breakfast but I can tell you there's going to be a bit of a chilly start today and this fog and Patty Frost patches around so watch out for that is. About to drive during the day with some bright spells that says but fog and low cloud might be stop and stop and to lift in places and the winds will freshen up later on but this family mom already today 4 to 7 degrees is the best temperature so 39 to about 45 found. Another fabulous song from the seventy's. That you're on track with the o.j. Love train. Strike. Force really interesting research I was looking at the smaller from the office of for National Statistics the ins and have a look at this is that basically what they're saying is that major milestones I mean like going to getting married having your 1st child not getting divorced are coming later in life for most people and they're saying that you'll be happiest when you're aged between 65 and 74 so he says that we're experiencing major life milestones having children becoming grandparents they had an increasingly older age so the the stats they found significant life events like becoming a mom or dad divorcing remarrying or stopping work things like that are occurring later in adult hood than they used to be. Figures also revealed that men and women between 65 and 74 as I mentioned are happier than any other age group for both sexes happiness levels were at their lowest when people are in their late forty's and early fifty's so that's vote much forward to that for you when I get into my like a 4750. Measures of personal well being of only been recorded it says since 2011 and it's unknown if like Future over 65 or. 65 or reach similar happiness Heights better research is said that the current I would a generation felt more positive about personal social and financial aspects of their lives according to the l n s The average age of becoming a grandparents gone up was 63 in 2017 to 80 in the So 3. And then in 20092010 they're saying that this was and I could be the knock on effect from a the long rise rise in the average age of Parenthood's. I Christmas baby please come on. 20 to 6. This is truly interesting this research so they're saying now that the average age of 1st time moms is 29 that's like the average and that's 2 and a half years later than in 1999 with the gap between having a 2nd child shrinking over recent decades to now just over 2 years and as a 2nd child is also likely to be a woman's last with the women in England and Wales who turned 45 in 2080 and having an average of 1.89 children the joint lowest figure since records began. Quarter of these women were about 26 percent had 3 or more children with the number of women with none or just one child increasing over time now they are in s. Found that the average age of one look at divorce the average age of divorce for opposite sex couples in 2018 was 46.9 years old for men and 44.5 years old for women that's more than 6 years higher than 20 years ago and they reckon this could be a result of the trend of people getting married later in life and staying married for longer according to the researchers in England or Wales in 2018 the median length of an opposite sex marriage before divorce was 12.5 years the longest duration since records began in 1963 and then in 2060 and it says the average age for remarriage for divorced men and women in the u.k. Was a 50.4 and 47.4 years old respectively so that's 8 years older than in 1900 . Dumbly. it's. When a foreign left. I read a list of I. Am paying a research you just for you. Nobody else just. This approaching 14 minutes to 6 we're talking about some of the traditions of Christmas earlier on missed it so they like the ones who died out in the ones in the still popular and we were saying that despite like healthy eating trends 88 percent of people wouldn't still raw that have the traditional.
