Terrible post, tedious, boring, clichéd, you name it, it's utterly dreadful and you deserve absolute derision and scorn, NOT praise!

Has anyone else been on Songs of Praise? I was in 1980 as a 10 year-old. However, despite being filmed singing they wanted me to mime it instead and I was dubbed
And I don't mind being praised, but don't seek it out. Which is probably why I rarely get any
No. But they did film once at Buckfast Abbey and we all watched it on the TV; my Mum and Gran were eager to spot anyone they knew from town. They kept whooping and saying things like "ooh, there's Joan" and "she sitting next to thingabobs missus". I remember it well, because I was about 15 and an hour before I had raided the drinks cabinet and was absolutely smashed. I was trying to watch the TV in an effort to hide my drunkeness, but it was just going around in circles. I was glad when it was over, so I could make an excuse and go for a walk round the block to sober up a bit before tea

There was an episode of Rab C Nesbitt set partially in Buckfast Abbey. Although whether it was actually filmed on location there, I don't know.
Not quite Songs of Praise, I know.

Wasn't he the fat one who laughed at everyone else's jokes? (not in Songs of Praise, obv.)
Excellent thread, by the way.

A few years ago now, when Songs Of Praise was broadcast from Wakefield Cathedral, our daughter was on (& heard!), as she was in the Cathedral Choir
(girls have to leave at 18)
It was amusing to see it, as 'Songs Syndrome' took effect, ie; every seat was full, & some standing!
I'd sometimes collect her after Sunday service, & at times, there'd be 20 worshippers!! (including some parents!!)
As An Aside;
Wife was also a Church Warden for a couple of years, as it was far easier/less hassle than coming home, just to go back!!
Due to that, we held the keys to St Marys On The Bridge at times, so I got personal access
Mother-in-law was a volunteer 'welcomer' (hence why her funeral, & the bro-in-laws, were held there)
