Therefore aliens are boring
I must say thanks to everyone who’s sent in lyrics; they’re all carefully stored here and we will get through all of them eventually, I promise. Every once in a while though I feel the urge to tackle a song which nobody has sent in and which doesn’t appear anywhere on t’internet. And so to On Reaching The Wensum, an odd and ever-so-slightly-obscure effort from Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral which features a rare Norfolk reference. And get this: the TV series “Kingdom” was filmed in Swaffham many years later …and Stephen Fry flies a biplane. Spooky eh?

I think it’s “wide berth Akabusi at [somewhere] Bay”, and it’s definitely “New Deal” rather than “Ian Beale”.

Isn’t it Kevin Day?
I always thought it was ‘Big Deal‘ at the end.
I had a BIG crush on teenage temptress Lisa Geoghan as a 15 year old, pleasantly revisited when she popped up in ‘The Bill’ looking resplendent in her WPC uniform.

Oh it’s definitely New Deal – the compulsory back-to-work program Labour brought in in 1998. I concur with the sentiment that it is all my arse.

Cemaes Bay. It’s in Anglesey.

I’m with Kevan in thinking its definitely ‘New Deal’…
Also, there is a ‘Cemaes Bay’ in North Wales (obvious HMHB link, but not sure how its pronounced) which could fit Kevans other suggestion…

only Nigel could get the phrase “profitless chicanery” into a song
