Oops, I'd
a) not remembered that Dan Aykroyd was in the chorus
b) not realised that he was Canadian.  Lucky chap.

So who was the other? (I figure you know...)

Sir Bob!

I only ever remember Dan Aykroyd because his inclusion in the line-up seems so incongruous.

Yep, I think Legs was there first even if his answer was more oblique.

I guess it was even easier than I expected.

I can't think of a question off the top of my head, so if you've got one, Vince, fire away.
