@Hazelnut20, do we have a singer on the forum? Oh, how I wish I could sing but it just doesn't happen and I still get shouted at or worse when I was a teenager living in a shared flat I can remember my flatmates coming rush to the bathroom as they thought I'd had an accident!
@Hazelnut20, "Where do you go to my lovely" was played to us today on the bus. It is thought to be about Sophia Loren, and we were told a lot about her today as she spent a lot of time in Naples when growing up (we drove through Naples) and she has a house at Amalfi, which we saw yesterday.
@wildmissus, I think there are a number of singers in the forum. I am pretty sure Chook is, though don't think we have heard from her of late?? and I know others have mentioned singing. I sing in a community choir.

Goal reached December 2013, weight loss strategy 5:2, weight management strategy is eating a wide range of (mainly) whole foods but am back to following 5:2 for a while. Main eating challenge is the evening munchies! 
Am not a singer @wildmissus, but I do enjoy trying! The party piece that I described happens every August in a friend's barbecue hut......after copious glasses of wine! A lot of swaying takes place too.....
In a couple of weeks, I am going to start singing at a local old people's home. Not on my own, I hasten to add - I'm just joining their singing group - for the fun of it! I'm sure my eldest daughter will find that most cringeworthy....because she is starting work there next week and will no doubt feel utter humiliation at her mother's efforts, tee hee! That in itself is probably good enough reason for me to do it....ha ha! I'm sure her face will be a picture......
Ooh, @sassy1 - I must admit in all the years I've loved it, I've never wondered about the origins of the song. What you wrote is fascinating & when I get a moment, I'll do a spot of research! Do hope you are enjoying your holiday - it sounds great!

Haha I still laugh at that song...hit him in the eye with a custard pie hahahahaha
@GMH..i' m in bed giggling..just for you,the very clever and funny lyrics of Ernie,the Fastest Milkman in the West...( heehee Two Ton Ted from Teddington 
)
You could hear the hoof beats pound
As they raced across the ground
And the clatter of the wheels
As they spun round and round
And he galloped into Market Street
His badge upon his chest
His name was Ernie
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
Now Ernie loved a widow
A lady known as Sue
She lived all alone in Linley Lane
At number twenty two
They said she was too good for him
She was haughty, proud and chic
But Ernie got his cocoa there
Three times every week
They called him Ernie (Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
She said she'd like to bathe in milk
He said alright sweetheart
And when he finished work one night
He loaded up the cart
He said you wanted pasturised
Coz pasturised is best
She says Ernie I'll be happy
If it comes up to me chest
And that tickled old Ernie (Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
Now Ernie had a rival
An evil looking man
Called Two Ton Ted from Teddington
And he drove the baker's van
He tempted her with his treacle tarts
And his tasty wholemeal bread
And when she saw the size
Of his hot meat pies
It very near turned her head
She nearly swooned at his macaroon
And he said now if you treat me right
You'll have hot rolls evry morning
And crumpets every night
He knew once she'd sampled his layer cake
He'd have his wicked way
And all Ernie had to offer
Was a pint of milk a day
Poor Ernie (Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
One lunchtime Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door
It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four
And as he leaped down from of his van
Hot blood through his veins did course
And he went across to Ernie's cart
And he didn't half kick his horse
Who's name was Trigger (Trigger)
And he pulled the fastest milkcart in the west
Now Ernie rushed out into the street
His goldtop in his hand
He said if you want to marry Susie
You'll fight for her like a man
Oh why don't we play cards for her
He sneeringly replied
And just to make it interesting
We'll have a shilling on the side
Now Ernie dragged him from his van
And beneath the blazing sun
They stood there face to face
And Ted went for his bun
But Ernie was to quick
Things didn't go the way Ted planned
And a strawberry flavoured youghurt
Sent it spinning from his hand
Now Sue she ran between them
And tried to keep them apart
And Ernie pushed her aside
And a rock cake caught him underneath his heart
And he looked up in pained surprise
As the concrete hardened crust
Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye
And Ernie bit the dust
Poor Ernie (Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
Ernie was only fifty-two, he didn't want to die
Now he's gone to make deliveries
In that milkround in the sky
Where the customers are angels
And ferocious dogs are banned
And a milkman's life is full of fun
In that fairy dairy land
But a woman's needs are manifold
And Sue she married Ted
But strange things happened on their wedding night
As they lay in their bed
Was that the trees a rustling
Or the hinges of the gate
Or Ernie's ghostly goldtops a rattling in their crate
They won't forget Ernie (Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
