White Lemonade Readers Poll Results 1991
At last, the results that the entire nation has been licking their lips in anticipation for, I don’t think! Anyway, many thanks to everyone who voted, especially the person who thought that the “Event of ‘91” was “Pat van den Hauwe giving Mandy Smith one”, which raised a giggle or two, as did someone’s nomination of Toyah being the “Most Snoggable Person”.
Compiling this was a swine of a job to do and took quite a bit of my time, but as rock ‘n’ roll bull-shitters say, “…..it was worth it!”
Amassed, organised and put together by Karl Powell.
