Cliff records rout funfair yobs

If you want to get rid of troublemaking youths, play them some Cliff Richard songs, a funfair has found. According to bosses from Carter’s Steam Fair, playing tracks such as “Living Doll” by the 66-year-old pop veteran on all their rides was enough to scare off some “hoodies” and other troublemakers who had descended on the fair last Saturday in north London.

The fair’s Seth Carter told Reuters: “It was amazing, just like a scene from ‘Mars Attacks’ when the aliens were driven away by the sounds of Slim Whitman. From now on if we do have any trouble we have found the perfect deterrent and it comes in the shape of the Peter Pan of Pop. Who needs ASBOs when we’ve got our Cliff Richard records?”
