I didn't think that this one would last very long as that is correct Paul.

The Beatles wrote the song, hence the Liverpool connection but for extra Brownie Points who was the Sheffield born singer who sang a cover version?

Anyways, over to you.

Thank you Paul; it must have been something to do with my inherited ( paternal grandfather's ) Brummie genes.

My choice has a Liverpool/Sheffield connection:

Now, back to "business", although I am not sure why I want the next turn. Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme. Peter, both Carole and Plummy are correct as the song title is Scarborough Fair. Carole is also correct about the album title. Even though your answer may or may not have jogged Plum...

Hi Chris and thank you for your message and well done on the 11kgs weight loss which ( I think ) works out at about 23 pounds. =D> I do hope that you will manage to maintain the slimline look and not let the weight creep back up again.

Hi Carole.

The song was first recorded in 1968 by an Irish actor and singer. This is part of the refrain, with the first line missing because it contains the song title.
