Sung to the tune of Rolph Harris' "tie me kangeroo down", unfortunately.

Don't worry about mowing the lawn, Vaughan,
Build a patio too.
Don't look so perplexed, Rex,
Dales has got it for you.

Can't remember the exact station, Southdowns fm maybe?

Buy a bike, buy a bike,
Get down to Charnock Richards cycles!

I have never, ever been to Charnock Richards, but I will always know that there is (was?) a cycle shop there!

Mort-gage point, Preston 88 08 08

I remember Mortgage Point, Leeds 2-3-4 3-4 3-4, Mortgage Point. Stone cold 90s classic.

Whatever you’re doing,
drilling or screwing,
if you’re doing yourself then you need our help
Page and Taylor!

Another bona fide banger from Rock Fm in the 90s and 00s!

“Buy a bike!
Buy a bike!
Get down to Charnock Richard Cycles!
Buy a bike!”

(It’s a retro classic).

@CoffeeAndCakeBringMeJoy YESSSS!!! I needn’t have commented, should have just looked up thread.

Ifeeltheneedtheneedforcoffee · 09/05/2026 14:47

Yes yes to the mortgage point "preston 88 08 08" and "buy a bike buy a bike". We always have to sing that when going past the signs for charnock richard on the motorway

To the tune of The Lambeth Walk

”If you go down wherstead road
Looking for that building load
You will find it aallllll
At Collier and Catchpole”

MendingWall · 09/05/2026 16:35

@themessesI think it’s pretty much on a loop in my brain when I’m not specifically thinking about something else.

I’m not local anymore, but should I ever want a conservatory of fascia (if I ever find out what one of those is) I know who I’ll be calling!
