Hello and welcome to episode 121 of the UK True Crown Weekly Podcast. I'm Adam.

With spring in year and the mighty Legion knightly top of the league and cruising to automatic promotion,

I thought to actually turn to Christmas.

Okay.

It's not my best lick, but moving on.

Today's story is from the Christmas of 2015.

It's a shocking tale of deception, violence, sexual depravity and sheer bad luck from the home counties.

But firstly, a huge thank you to all my supporters on Patreon, especially this week's new members of this exclusive club.

That's Tara Chaston, Jonathan and Lee Sullivan.

Thank you all so much and I hope you enjoy bonus episode 26, which is heading your way this week.

Let's set in its own context as a day's story, beginning with the music we were listening to in December 2015,

with the exception of slayed, wizard and the usual Christmas suspects.

Holding off the Bieber and Adele, for playing the number one slot, was the no doubt very worthy,

Luresham and Greenwich NHS choir.

Bieber himself even said, for one week, it's okay not to be number one.

Let's do the right thing and help them win its Christmas.

You can't argue with the Bieber.

Adele with hello, top of the US chart.

And in Australia, Adele also top the album charts, where she remained for five weeks.

In the news this month, the 21st century finally became a reality,

when the US Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced that all combat roles in US Armed Forces will be open to women.

About time, but why so long?
