Terry Wogan quit three years ago, over so-called bloc or political voting, declaring " An iron curtain has descended across Eurovision" . But I hadn't realised until recently that perhaps the biggest scandal involved Cliff Richard's "Congratulations" in 1968. It finished second behind Spain's entry by one point, apparently because bribes - during General Franco's fascist regime - MAY have rigged the vote !
Just for the record, the UK's five winning entries were:-
Puppet on a String .... Sandie Shaw .... 1967
Boom-Bang-a-Bang .... Lulu ... 1969
Save Your Kisses for Me .... Brotherhood of Man .... 1976
Making Your Mind Up .... Bucks Fizz .... 1981
Love Shine a Light .... Katrina and the Waves .... 1997
