This rusty old Pump is sitting in front of a marine equipment repair shop in Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg. Actually, I think it is an old air compressor:

U for Ukelele player concentrating. A group of George Formby fans playing his hits. The BBC said recently that Formby was their most banned artist having almost all of his hit records banned from the airwaves from the early 30's onwards.

I don't know, but it looked as if it had been sitting in place for a l-o-o-o-o-ng time. I think it is intended to catch the attention of passersby. I know it did for me! But then, I'm weird!

U for Ukelele player concentrating. A group of George Formby fans playing his hits. The BBC said recently that Formby was their most banned artist having almost all of his hit records banned from the airwaves from the early 30's onwards. Not quite, George Formby was listed as "play with discretion", only a couple of his songs were deemed unsuitable for general broadcast, but as the stories of bans circulate they grow...... Even Cd's have been issued on the strength of the content being banned. They were, after all in his films. Bill Cotton and his Dance Band was actually "banned" on a couple of occasions,( My little YoYo, sung by Alan Breeze), but the firmest recorded BBC "ban" was for Harry Roy's rendition of the comedy hit song "My Girl's Pussy"......you can probably see the way the lyrics went from the title...whether it means the same in the States I do not know, but it earnt a ban on the BBC official lists, use of which faded in the 1950's. There never was a "black or blue book", it was a list updated each month to show what was allowed to be broadcast. Harry Roy's other ban was "She's gone and lost it at the Astor", but that ban did not last long as the comedy innuendo was far milder. The bans seem more to do with the fact they were records, as amazingly the BBC allowed Ronald Frankau to broadcast live with what were even by modern standards risqué jokes and song lyrics. If you want to listen and decide for yourself, "My Girl's Pussy" with Harry Roy's band is on Youtube, rather than causing offence, it beggars belief that such risqué lyrics formed a comedy hit in the early 1930's!! The BBC might have not played it, but it sold a lot of records! Stephen.

hmmm definitely a bit risque. Thanks for the link Stephen. Of course a ban is the best way to sell records. Snodland's famous son Judge Dread is the BBC's most banned artiste wikipedia entry. We bought 'Up With the Cock' and it turned out to be a simple song about life on a farm. He was so banned that the BBC actually refused to play a benefit recording despite there being no innuendo in it. Probably playing it safe in case there was something they didnt notice.

X for Extremely scary. Double-decker buses are peculiarly British although many vehicles run in major cities around the world. We don't have many in my town and they only run at peak times. Today my daughter and I had a trip out of town, coming back (unusually) on a double decker. It hit a tree branch as it pulled into a bus stop and the branch ripped out a window. We were delayed by 50 minutes until a replacement was sent from Warrington. An eventful day today!

He was so banned that the BBC actually refused to play a benefit recording despite there being no innuendo in it. Probably playing it safe in case there was something they didnt notice. And of course the self same pussy joke survived into modern times on BBC Tv's hit comedy "Are you being served", with Mrs Slocumbes "Pussy" that she always talked about, John Inman said he simply could not keep a straight face when "Pussy" was mentioned...... And Lord Reath did not want the pre-war material banned, he just said it was unsuitable to broadcast when the BBC did not control who was listening, but if you wanted to buy the record, or see the film, then it was your decision, perhaps he was far wiser than they usually give credit for., and you should hear some of Ronald Frankau's material or even The Western Brothers, who regularly broadcast in the Reath years, but of course later in the evening, when the children were in bed! Stephen.
