I don’t believe it.

A Tesco store at the largest military base in Western Europe has provoked outrage after failing to sell the Military Wives’ number one single.

The shop at Catterick - one of the Army's oldest and biggest bases - claimed that it was too small to stock the hit charity song 'Wherever You Are’ – which is currently outselling the rest of the top 20 combined.

But the store DOES stock Little Mix’s single Cannonball.

Staff have now been ordered to quickly order copies after customers complained they could not get hold of it.

So says the Daily Mail.

Well you can listen to it here then.

 

H/T to Captain Haddock for pointing me to the article.

That song that is playing in your head.

Not meaning to nag. (Oh yes I am).

On sale at Amazon Tomorrow/. Priced £1.99. Go on splash out for a worthy cause.

Don’t forget the military wives.

I’ve been banished to the computer in the kitchen. Why you ask? My wife and the niece (Bless her curse her, she’s drinking all my rum), are watching the X Factor finale. I was deemed persona non grata for suggesting that it was puerile wannabee crap. Or words to that effect.

So in a mind for a bit of FE disobedience please buy this single for Christmas.

It’s only £1.99 at Amazon.

Go on, you’ll be doing your bit in supporting our armed forces. I count myself as lucky in conflicts I’ve been in. However I’ve  lost some dear friends to war. I will remember them. Without meaning to hector, you should as well.

Lets make it No.1

 

Shamelessly I'm promoting what I hope will be this year's No 1 in the annual tussle for the Christmas single.

The CD will be released on 19 December and pre-ordered on Amazon or bought via iTunes.

The second track is another composition from Paul Mealor - Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal (Four Madrigals On Rose Texts(: A Spotless Rose.

The proceeds of the single will go to SSAFA Forces Help and the British Legion.

Subrosa. I’ve shamelessly nicked your text as I’m too lazy to write my own. Your text says it all.
