Cliff Richard and the Shadows Now not a week goes by without hearing that some pop band or other is making a comeback. Take That have been very successful, Boyzone have also attempted it and the Spice Girls had a highly popular world tour. Now it seems that Cliff Richard and The Shadows are trying to get in on the act too. They will reunite for an arena tour in 2009 to celebrate their 50th anniversary. During the late 50s and 60s they dominated the charts and notched up 19 number one hits between them. It will be the first time they have performed together in concert for 20 years. There will be 11 dates across the country and it will be their final tour. Tickets will go on sale this Sunday. They will be visiting London, Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield and finally, Manchester. Best get your credit cards at the ready! Britney Spears Singer Britney Spears has also confirmed that she will be appearing in the UK next year. She will play the 02 Arena in London in June next year, which will be her only European show on her forthcoming world tour. Tickets will go on sale on the 5th December. Britney Spears will also be performing her new single on The X Factor this weekend. It tops of a very successful year for the singer who has began her comeback after a very public meltdown last year. Nurse chat Ive been reading today that nurses have been given new guidelines from the Nursing and Midwifery Council, suggesting that calling older patients dearie or love be ruled out as it could be deemed offensive. Nurses should speak courteously and respectfully and use patients preferred names the Council has suggested. However terms of endearment can be used in some areas if they are part of everyday speech. The guidelines have been constructed around the views of older people and fits in with the governments drive for dignity in care. Id like to hear what you think to this one. Do you think the Council is right to bring out these guidelines or is it just another case of PC gone mad. Id love to hear your thoughts. You can email me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thats all for the letter today. I hope you will join me for Look North tonight at 6.30pm on BBC One.
