It may be a good act (?), but it's not a good song, and that is.... err ...the whole gist of the event, and some of our european cousins seem to have grasped that concept now. Petty we can't do that every year, cos we've got one or two proven songwriters over here eh?

Rosie and the Goldbug from Bodmin, if they're still going, might have a wider appeal to a Eurovision audience
