In which Weller remembers the moment when his Harley Street quack grasped him firmly by the shoulder and said "sorry son it's diabetes" after discovering the abnormally high sugar content of the modster's urine.

Or maybe not. This is more a case of old laughing chops taking the piss out of his fans rather than lugging it down to the doctors in an empty Evian bottle. A schmaltzy, photo-in-his-wallet, look-at-my-kid, flimsy wisp of whimsy that he's dedicated to his daughter, 'Sweet Pea' is hurdy gurdy, beyond a joke folk and truly bloody awful.

Like watching the man that once was Muhammad Ali struggling to his feet to acknowledge all his fans whilst grown men in dinner jackets on either side of him wait to break his fall, it further strengthens my growing belief that the real talent in The Jam lay with Bruce Foxton. Hmmm maybe that is going a bit
