Here's something to ponder over your hot cross bun. In 1977, the year the King died, there were 185 Elvis impersonators in the world. In 2005 there were 186,000. At this rate, by the year 2060 one in four people on the planet will be sporting a quiff, a curled lip and an indecently tight white jumpsuit.
