Day 1.255: New Yeek, New Yeek

...so good they played it twice. Maybe.

During school pick-up:
Exile #4: We played a new game today.
Exile #4: It's called New-Yeek
Exile #2: Oh - really?
Exile #4: Yes - New-Yeek!!
Exile #2: How does it work?
Exile #4: Well, it's like a purple tree...New-Yeek!
Exile #2 (trying to avoid thoughts of Numberwang): Oh..?
Exile #4: Yeah because it's different...new-yeek...
Exile #2: OH! UNIQUE!
Exile #4: Yes! new-yeek.

Here's a puzzle (probably only for UK readers of a certain age). Exile #4 found this hat the other day and decided to wear it when we were playing in the back-yard. I've removed the name, does anyone know what is/was 'The Happiest Club in the Land'? No cheating now!

    Thanks for that memory FP - I loved the orange ones myself.

    A - thanks for playing but no, and no.

    I tried googling "the happiest club in the land" but it just leads me back here (at 47).

    By the way, pop pun number 79 for title watchers?

    Go on locals - even though you cheated - we can call it pop pun 79 - any guesses? :-)
