And from a few generations ago, but still regularly played in the 1960s. EMI's 1932 [AD Blumlein] recording is amazingly fresh even now!

Half Man Half Biscuit - Lord Hereford's Knob

ATB from George

Brilliant song .. What a great group, England's finest folk group are a national tressure - why Sir Nigel Blackwell got overlooked in the New Year's honours list is beyond me. This the man who ducuments our very existence.

As I camped out one evening to take the midnight air

I heard a maiden grieving from somewhere over there

Who is it you are mourning

For whom do you wear grey

She said I pine for no one, I just can’t pay my way

Ever since the chattering classes invaded Hebden Bridge

And priced the likes of me and mine

To the pots of the Pennine Ridge

To South East Wales I was forced to flee

And now I have no job

That’s why tonight I’m sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

For you I’d waive expenses, to try and help you out

For your beauty influences the landscape hereabouts

Look up my betrothed at Three Cocks

Be sure she’ll see you right

While I go up to Yorkshire, and there avenge your plight

Soon reports were filtering through to me

The pair were drowning in bliss

I can’t recall having ever been cuckolded quite like this

I gave up hope ironically for Lent

Come see me living in a bivvie

If you’re ever up Pen-y-Ghent

Although upon reflection I’ve been a trifle green

I still think with affection on everything that’s been

So prepare that fatted calf

And string up the bunting gay

Your brisk and bonny ploughboy is coming home today

And tonight he’ll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

Tonight he’ll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

On touching the trig point, I found my thrill

To the east Brokeback Mountain, to the west, Benny Hill

I’ll give you the grid ref, you might like to go

SO224350

Could this be heaven, would that be the Severn

Twmpa, Twmpa, you’re gonna need a jumper

It gets a bit chilly on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

Tonight he’ll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

All of our songs sound the same

Tonight he’ll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

I’m keeping Two Chevrons Apart

Tonight he’ll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

You’re the reason why paradise lost

Tonight he’ll be sitting on top of Lord Hereford’s Knob

ATB from George

I know she slept in the subway, but she was great ... Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent were in the background, although I always felt JT didn't like Pet very much, maybe because was so talented. Pet wrote quite a few of the songs or her albums. Is she Dame Petula, she certainly should be. I have quite a few of her records.

Saw Roger in Bristol last year and he was great, I thought Thank You Very Very Much and yes it was a Monday. LTP is the only record I have that cites the fact that an ingredient was efficacious in every case.

I don't have that one by the lad himself, but I do remember it well and the horse's Trigger and he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west. I believe he was last seen in Tesco With two ton Ted from Teddington who drove the baker's van

He said you wanted pasturised, 'cos pasturised is best

She says Ernie I'll be happy if it comes up to me chest
