Faraway places

Indeed, Danny, I heard this one on 'golden oldies' last year and I was instantly transported back to Binbrook and the hit parade of 1950. We lived in what is now called Windsmoor Road (still there although runways have long gone) and next door lived the delectable Margaret whom I fancied very strongly.

She had a beautiful voice, but when Faraway Places with Strange Sounding Names are Calling, Calling to Me 20 times a day I'm afraid both Places and Margaret became less attractive. Fickle I transferred my attentions to the equally delectable Ann, who went on to marry a Vulcan navigator, while next year my Faraway Place with Strange Sounding Name became RAF Khormaksar.
