2. Al Martino

[tpw536w]

Thanks for those, I did think Al Martino but it does not fit in with the letters, and the J is correct.

[Tilly2]

It's Al Martino according to the Christmas no.1's list.

[boxtops]

where do you get the J from, tpw?

[Brenden]

2. Joni James (Why don't you believe in me)?

[Tilly2]

Is that an American no.1?
I've never heard of Joni James.

[Calibax]

^Brenden's right with Joni James - US no.1 not UK

Thought mouse trap has closed .mouse be mistaken maybe

[Tilly2]

Well, that's not fair. It's supposed to be a Jubilee quiz, isn't it?
Flippin' eck!

Mousetrap still going and now touring

[Tilly2]

I bet the beer's Budweiser!

[Tilly2]

No, too many letters.

1. DeBeers

[glasman]

The beer is Marston's 'Pedigree'.

[Captain2]

I can find Marston's PEDIGREE (which fits) launched in 1952 - also Timothy Taylor's Landlord, one of my favourites!
