Loves and loathes of 2007

The women's fiction team share the things they loved and hated in 2007

We’ve loved . . .

Strictly Come Dancing (and the excuse it gives us to ogle that lovely man from Blue Peter – why didn’t we have presenters like that when we were growing up?).

The return of those lovely little Wispa bubbles. Yes, we’re shouting about the long-awaited comeback of the Wispa! Forget the baubles, this Christmas it’s all about the bubbles – and not those big Aero-ey ones, either. Yes, iconic eighties chocolate bar Wispa is back and better than ever. But for how long? Get buying, people – this time it’s here to stay.

The ongoing saga of William and Kate.

Jonny Wilkinson – he can tackle us any day.

The Dairy Milk ad. It makes the hairs on the back of our necks stand on end.

Prince on tour. The musical institution you could probably fit in your coat pocket was back on the live shows in 2007, treating fans to twenty-one nights at London’s O2. He blew us away with a stream of old favourites – Little Red Corvette, Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret, to name only a few – and we came away thinking: is it wrong to love a man who could fit into one leg of our jeans?

Christian Louboutin shoes – quite simply Things of Beauty.


We’ve loathed . . .

The summer that never was.

Smock tops (surely not flattering to anyone at all?).

All the songs Abbey National have crucified with their terrible ads (bad karaoke and mortgage lending rates do not go well together).

Crocs shoes. Are we missing something??

Big Brother. What is there to say? So over it.
