Letter: Millennium wrecker

Sir: For those of us who do not believe that there is an intervening supernatural power called God, Sir Cliff has completely wrecked Millennium Eve and all future New Year's Eves by hi-jacking the tune of an ancient secular song.

Will anybody be able in future to do the knees-up bit at the end of "Auld Lang Syne" without fear of being struck by lightning?

To even things up a bit I propose that in future we refer to the celebrated chanteur and nice chap as Sir Harry Webb.
