On Saturday night, two contestants participating in the ITV gameshow Limitless Win won a million pounds. The contestants – named Helen and Charlie, from Suffolk – walked away with the prize after correctly identifying how many years it had been since Blur and Oasis battled it out for a No 1 single.
And, you know, good for them. Their ability to pinpoint key moments in the Britpop wars has made them incredibly rich. But if you detected a note of apathy in the wider public on news of this win, you’re probably right. Helen and Charlie may have a million pounds, but a million pounds isn’t exactly a million pounds these days.
