At the start of the year, I went to see The Ian Dury biog film, Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll. An outstanding performance by Andy Serkis in the lead role. We have a number of Ian Dury song related entries on H2G2, but this one, which went through when I was a scout, got me thinking A10831727 ... what about one for Manchester

So here is the GMPTE Bus Driver's Prayer

Our father, who art in Irlam


Fallowfield be thy name


Thy Crumpsall come


Thy Withington


In Eccles as it is in Irlam


Give us this day our Bredbury


And forgive us our Westhoughtons


As we forgive them who Westhoughton against us


Lead us not into Timperly


And deliver us from Droylsden


For thine is the Cheadle


The Mossley


And the Gatley


For Urbis and Urbis


Hough End

Love, Peace and Blues
