Now its cold and damp and chilly too
Mavis thought she'd knit a woolly hat for Stu
A little too small it perched on top
He bought another from the shop 
And gave his to his little brother, Hugh.


Den sat in his armchair and gazed at his fire
Hurt and upset 'cos Jane called him a liar
For she'd caught him snogging Lil from next door

I'm another one who's  never heard of it. 
It's not even in my big dictionary, so I googled it.  

Now its cold and damp and chilly too
Mavis thought she'd knit a woolly hat for Stu
A little too small it perched on top
He bought another from the shop

She put a fairy on the top
She'd bought it from the charity shop
The poor thing only had one wing
It was badly fixed and began to swing 
The her leg fell off, so she had to hop!


Now its cold and damp and chilly too

For the animal lovers, another piece of music, about a dog this time.

So sad that one, Granny.
Many years ago that song used to upset me so much, because I had an old rescue dog at the time -  called Shep!
 I knew he didn't have much longer to live,  so you can imagine how I felt upon hearing Elvis singing that. 
That old song still fills me up even now.

Your Welcome.

The miners beat Heath and she knew that so it was very much a bare knuckle fight (well except the police they used truncheons etc.)  The biggest stupidity from Scargill was starting the strike in March when the stockpiles at power stations were probably taller than the cooling towers.

Thatcher was on the way down in popularity and saved by her determination in the Falklands war.

What was done was done. We have to move on with what we have. They are pouring most of that down the drain now. As I said earlier managed decline. Badly managed too.

I looked it up and by golly she did. It doesn't mention if there were any musical pets on the program too though
