GUEST,henryp Any August Songs? (218* d) RE: Any August Songs? 15 Aug 24


On 15 August 1960 Britain’s first motorway restaurant was opened on the M1 at Newport Pagnell.

Decameron, formed in 1968 in Cheltenham by Johnny Coppin and Dave Bell, had a Motorway Song with a chorus based on the motorway sign;

A petrol pump
A knife and fork
A cup of tea
And a P

I don't think that they ever recorded it.
