Are you any relation to Dustybun?

[eddiebun]

It took me a few seconds to get what you meant - I presume Dustybin is another Aber who knows their pop music - I'll look out for his/her work !

[kettledrum]

No - but a good many of us are not of an age to be familiar with pop groups; although I have heard of Mungo Jerry I never would have thought of it.

Eddiebun
Would you explain how you get Mungo Jerry please. I can get Jerry as in a german but where does Mungo come from? Sorry for being thick.
I was trying to work something out with Ure as in Midge Ure and Mary Ure.

Well done with the other answers - I can understand those.

Mary, Mungo and Midge was a kids programme narrated by Richard Baker. Mary lived in a tower block with her dog, Mungo and mouse, Midge.
