Status Quo have proved that they know how to handle these wintery times. According to insiders at the Best Western Carlton Hotel in Blackpool, the old school rockers requested Horlicks, hot chocolate, hot water bottles and a trouser press to ensure their stay there was up to scratch.

Lead singer Francis Rossi, reportedly asked for the malted hot drink to help him get to sleep. Funnily enough just prior to these demands, Rossi criticised Oasis for "not being rock 'n' roll".
