You might imagine that this site was born in London, what with that being the only place that ever gets mentioned when it comes to the cultural identity of our country – the very idea that sweaty, over-populated noisy mess of a place is somehow the automatic cultural hot-spot is laughable to anyone who lives outside of the place.

14 year old Liam makes his Britain’s Got Talent debut tomorrow night and wows the judges and audience alike with his rendition of ‘O Danny Boy.’
