    It sounds like wont last a day without you... but maybe it's a version not by the carpenters...

    Any ideas?

    I tried to upload the mp3 but it will only allow a zip file ....

    I haven't watched "Our friends in the north" in around 20 years, I heard that snippet and visualised the scene, odd how the memory works, I can't remember half the stuff I did yesterday :lol:

    Found it, what an ending :like: one of the earlier episodes, they filmed a bit in Hendon Garths in sunderland, the absolute slum I was brought up in, long since bulldozed :)

    Interesting what you said about being brought up in a slum. In my case--it was Balsall Heath road in Birmingham. I was born at home in 1948; lived there till i was 9. Bombsites were my playground.

    |We had no bathroom or inside lav. There was a small factory at the back of the houses. It didnt have a lav--so ours got used by workers climbing over the "garden" wall. ( Garden = hard packed bare earth. Grass hadnt been invented )

    I don't feel so badly done by after reading that :D at least we experienced hunger and hardship, and we made sure our kids never have to undergo such a baptism:)

    We never went hungry. Dad had a well paid job--but was going to night school to learn electronics. He rented that house--but bought his first house in 1957--a recently built 3 bed semi in Handsworth Wood--which was countryside back than. The house cost him £2000. Life was idyllic from then on in.

    The only hardship befell me in my 50's. Years of struggling to scratch a living self employed--and often not getting paid. I finally threw the towel in--bumped the bank and the credit card company, but paid the debt off over the next 5 years

    I was an only surviving child--and when dad passed on in 2016 he left me everything..which has set me up in retirement. My only regret was he died a month before Nida ( my now wife ) came over to settle. He knew about her--but never met her. Our plan was to buy a suitable house for the 3 of us to live in..and he pay Nida a salary to care for him at home--her idea.

    The Flamingoes made it popular in a doo-wop style - 1959:
