Why do I think of the Ying-Tong song?

I'm sorry, being of tender years, the reference is lost on me.

Radio 7, Thursday Mornings at 0800 might give you a clue.

I'll clarify. I know of the Ying Tong song. I even looked it up to see
if there is some reference in the Lyrics to the names of main roads in
London, but couldn't see one.

NB The "Key Apsiddy" mentioned above was uttered with what seemed at the
time a fairly reasonable Cockney accent, so it wasn't a case of him
being a stranger in Town.

Despite coming from a London family, I've still not decoded that one.

sounds of brain cogs whirring, albeit somewhat squeakily


Doh! OK someone was extracting the urine, obviously.
