Bono Estenti ....

Apparently, and there is evidence to support this that 1976 was the most happy year in British history, hottest year ever, we won medals at the OG, high levels of prosperity and the smallest difference between the richest and the poorest in the country. Plus we won Eurovision. Sadly those days are long gone.

This was the first Eurovision I saw, aged eight. I thought the UK would win every year after this. How wrong I was!

[TurkishWarrior80]

Great Song !

I think the best from Uk by now.Better tthan 1997 and anything else Uk brought.I was born in 1980.

I found this by coincidence.

Really great song.But I'm curious why they didn't got the same fame as ABBA after eurovision.

[winnetouch]

I don't think anybody got the same fame as ABBA after eurovision :P...

[tjamassey]

[SilvanoMScherrer]

Thats from a Time where Eurovision was still a fair EUROvision... sad i'm too young. i only know the new Eastvision...

[schukinofclm]

But you to agree- the Eastern European countries have better performances now then the western-european.

I think it's very weird how the credits literally fall off the screen. Also an amusing incident with Corry Broken's malfunctioning microphone. She clearly wasn't used to presenting, announcing the winner as if commenting on the weather. "Oh, I guess you're English". (Again, British and English is not the same.) Oh well, she did a better job than some (coughTotocough!) and at least she introduced in more than one language, unlike Marlous Fluitsma, though I still liked her more.

shit

[lwsmackie]

"Yugo-SLAY-vee-ya????? Why do they repeatedly say "England" - IN DUTCH & IN FRENCH when they mean UNITED KINGDOM. Dont u know there is a huge difference??????????

[tasosk3]

I know this must sound like a huge sacrilege to a Scotchman like you, but it's true that, for a lot of people outside the UK, "British" and "English" essentially amount to the same thing - not because of lack of knowledge, but because, you know, English culture is the one that's most visible to people abroad (from London to the English language itself)...

[setheurovision94]

Question: am I mistaken to presume that referring to anyone in England or Scotland as a 'Brit' is very rude? Many commentators in the years I have refer to the UK as England, though I would never do that - perhaps to many people outside the UK, as tasos says, there's not much difference as it's the same island.

[lwsmackie]

NO, it is perfectly okay to refer to anyone in either ENGLAND or SCOTLAND as a BRIT. BUT DONT EVER CALL A SCOTSMAN - "ENGLISH" or you are dead.The UK is made up of 4 seperate countries - SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, N. IRELAND & WALES - all with seperate languages, cultures, education, legal systems etc etc. For a small island - there are huge cultural differences between us.

[pratt68]

Anyone who calls me English is quickly put in their place. I'm British. I hate it when the UK is referred to as England - as yes I was born just south of the border!

[tiaccisaw]

@lwsmackie The guy says "Inglaterra" and "Gran Bretaña" here. Kind of means the same for everyone else outside the UK.

But don't worry, we know it's not strictly exact. It's like saying "Holland" instead of "the Netherlands".

[lwsmackie]

whos the closet lesbian?

[tasosk3]

You're very mean, young man, aren't you? (slaps wrist) Anyway, it's Corry Broken, thw singer who had represented the Dutch in the first three contests (and even won in 1957). And I agree her styling leaves a lot to be desired...

[setheurovision94]

There is an error with this scoreboard - Yugoslavia had received ten points at the end, not six, therefore placing them second-from-last (and rather undeservingly, imo). So strange that this is the same hall as in 1980 - a much better set, and somehow a much cheerier audience.

[tasosk3]

You're right, but it's not really the fault of the person who managed the scoreboard - it's just that the French spokesperson had forgotten to announce the French jury's 4 points to Yugoslavia (the mistake was corrected after the contest, and so subsequent record books show the correct sum for them). A somehow grave mistake really, since by the end of the contest everyone thought that Yugoslavia had finished last! (when it really was Norway that did so)
