Ivor Novello was jailed during the last war for using forged petrol coupons. He was sent to Wormwood Scrubs jail, where he was given priveleged treatment, and a private cell. There is a song that was written about this to the tune of The Girl I left Behind Me.


Oh me name is Mike, or Mick if you like
Me second name's O'Reilly
And I'm doing me best on a 2 year stretch
On account of a judge named Smiley
I know all the nobs of the flash boy mobs
I'm an old sky rocket diver
But we are the mugs of Wormwood Scrubs
Compared with a bloke named Ivor.

I will try to find the rest, and who wrote it.
John
