Earler in the show........having just rented a ladder from Mate.
SCRATCHIT: I must be off.
BANNISTER: Be off then!
GRAMS: BRRMMMM OF CAR, WITH TAMBOURINES, AND MALE VOICE
SINGING SPEEDING UP AND FADING INTO DISTANCE.
The song referenced is the 'Male voice singing' which is sped up on
record. The lyrics I can make out are "I love you, for I, my dear"
which are then repeated, but the increased speed kills the rest.
I havent found any song liyrics matching the above...

There isn't one. That's one I'll have to investigate further. Are you sure
it's Rhyl?

I've always assumed that there is a song "I'll love
you for aye" ('aye' meaning forever) but I have no
factual basis for said assumption...

It wasn't the 'High-Alumina Cement' lark was it?
Cheap, new, strong material that fell apart?
They built a section of a major road (A1?) using it as a
surface.
Pathe News should yield up that one.

Could "I love Rhyl" have been an advertising slogan? Most of the Isle of...
gags follow this pattern, viz Isle of Yew/ I love you too, shall we dance...
