Please, no Val Doonican!

BBC NEWS | England | Kent | Oxfam bans Max Bygraves

A charity shop in Kent is asking for records and CDs to sell - as long as they are not by Max Bygraves or Val Doonican.

The Oxfam shop in Canterbury has a sign outside saying it does not want any more records by the two veteran crooners - because it has so many already.

The manager says it is not meant as an insult, and says the large number of albums by the singers show how successful they have been.

Max Bygraves told the BBC there were so many of his records in charity shops because lots of people who bought them originally had died.

In forty years time, will the same shops be refusing copies of "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Led Zeppelin IV"?
