Cliff helps to clear pubs

Landlords have found the best way to get rid of drinkers at closing time at Christmas is to play a Cliff Richard song.

Pub bosses watched the reaction of customers to festive tunes and it was 64-year-old Cliff singing his 1988 No1 hit Mistletoe And Wine who cleared bars the fastest.

The carol Silent Night, Aled Jones' Walking in the Air and Elvis' Blue Christmas were also a turn-off for drinkers.

A spokesman for John Barras pubs said: "Christmas wouldn't be complete without Cliff but he certainly gets customers to drink up."
