About 10 years ago London Underground got a new batch of District Line trains. For the first few months they used a female automatic voice recording where it was pronounced "PLAY-STOW"!
My mum bought it on a recommendation when it came out back in 77. So I grew up with it from the age of 6. My parents used to hide the vinyl because of the swearing but I knew where it was hidden and would listen to it in secret. Ian Dury taught me to swear when I learnt "arseoles batsards fukcing cutns and prix" off by heart and taught it to my school mates. It became our "gang" password when we were about 8!

Fantastic
I think part of the reason I liked him so much was because I was a very quiet well behaved child and he represented a bit of rebellion. The only swear word I ever heard growing up was the word damn - uttered by my mum only once to my knowledge!
I saw him at Bridlington Spa in 1979 - haven't been anywhere near there for a good few decades. The show was brilliant.

I first became aware of Ian Dury when I saw The Who on tour in 1973. He was the singer of Kilburn amd the High Roads. He had a remarkable stage presence but the gig was spoilt by a section of the audience assuming his polio was drunkenness.
Ian has been brown bread for 10 years next week 
will we ever see his like again?
