Another A-level results day, another screed of mean-spirited bitterness from people who peaked at 18, and it was a pretty low peak. And another day full of the infernal “uni”, which was unknown in this country until the mass popularity of Neighbours and Home and Away, both beloved of Jason Arday. “Juvi” is also creeping in. Must we become a republic to free ourselves of these Australianisms?
Arday has gone out of his way to look like a member of Milli Vanilli, who were never fooling anyone, nor even attempting to do so. They would apparently deliver that perfect California pop seconds after having given interviews in which they could barely speak English. We all knew that the faces and the voices belonged to different people. In the Europop disco world of Frank Farian, that was and is standard practice. The likes of GRAMMY knew that as well as anyone, but getting caught was spoiling the fun. Bringing us back to Arday.
