My lack of musical interest is pretty well known (well Radio 2 Vine programme spent a week discussing it), yet I think I’ve just surpassed all prior ignorance. While talking about web search functions in MSE Towers, I said “suppose you want to search for songs by Billy Holliday”, at which point MSE Archna started to smile.
I knew why, so I turned to her and said “I know Archie, you’re laughing because I’m so out of date, well to be honest I don’t know any of his songs anyway!” I then stood there as the entire team wet themselves with laughter - how was I to know Billie Holliday was a woman!
