Just wondering... because I know there's mixed opinions when it comes to the chap - a lot I know don't like him because of the 'gormless' image, but I'm a huge fan.
I come from Wigan in Lancashire, England where George was born... in fact, he was born about a mile away from where I live (there's a plaque there to commemorate).
Personally, I love his stuff... there's no pretention, the accent was never toned down or 'made posh' which is admirable (Yes Liam Gallagher of Oasis... ye weren't the first here) - and I love the 'cheeky' stuff... the innuendo - it's a gentile yet ever-so-slightly risqué quality from a different era.
Plus, this is a chap who entertained the troupes in WW2 in extremely dangerous conditions at one time - right on the frontline on many occasions.
Anyhow - as you can tell - I like him!
just wondered what others thought?
