Funny enough,BBC TV4 recently screened a photo taken about 1957 at a church fete in Woolton(I think)a district of Liverpool.It showed a bunch of teds with guitars on the back of a lorry including one check-shirted poser with an obvious Elvis fixation.It was accompanied by scratchy tape of them performing a pop song at the time-in clear violation of the Holy Laws of Copyright.

There was no mention of any stormtroopers jumping up and shouting'you can't do that there'ere without bunging us 50 quid to pass on to Mr Cochrane'

I wonder where we'd all be if they had....
