If it was in Ireland, Croydon would have a lyrical song in its praise... 'Sweet Croydon stands in Surrey, a place of lovely fame The blossom on the cherry trees in town it does remain The lovely people of all hues do show their many charms And welcome you to Croydon town and take you in their arms' a lot of cobblers, yes, but why no songs in praise of Basildon or Middlesbrough or Motherwell?- I mean, have you ever been to 'Sweet Tralee' or 'Limerick (She's a Lady)'?- if they can do it, why not British places?
