Sinister: No no no no no no no no
"the streets of london" by "whistling" Roger Whittaker i believe...
No no no :-) Roger Whittaker had a hit with the far more cred "Durham Town" which has more cred being more grim and in the Norrth. He also had the smurfs connection, which was far cooler than the distinctly uncred "Alphabet Zoo". Incidentally anyone particularly wanting some sort of 'picnic', let's call it a 'Scots picnic' shall we, can mail me if they like and we'll sort it out some time soon, for when it's a bit warmer really, we could go and do the Arthur's seat sunrise thingy if anyone fancies it. I know David's only allowed me the authority to ask people out in the in Edinburgh area... but I figure it'd be silly given that Glasgow's like next door, so anyone from Glasgow fancying a bit of a do sometime in the Summer is more than welcome to mail me too. As is anyone else... in the world in fact as long as you can make it to Edinburgh some time in the summer. That means all the Chorlton posse will have to wheel on up to Edinburgh. The longest day might make a suitable time., or at least the nearest weekend to. The Duke would be proud, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Ralph McTell was the man in question - famous also for "Tickle on the Tum" on UK children's TV. Despite a distinctly uncred few years, he did write the maudlin country/folk song "From Clare To Here" which is pretty wonderful! An "alternative" version of "Streets of London" was performed by the Anti-Nowhere League...its, um...different!
