Compo 10,328 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Some songs just stick in your mind forever. Take the following example for instance; I will not say who it is by but if you was a teen in the 60s you will probably not be able to read through the lyrics without singing it, either in your head or even out loud: The purpose of a man is to love a woman And the purpose of a woman is to love a man So come on, baby Let's start today Come on, baby Let's play The game of love, love La, la, la, la, la love It started long ago in the Garden of Eden When Adam said to Eve Baby, you're for me So come on, baby Let's start today Come on, baby Let's play The game of love, love La, la, la, la, la love Come on, baby 'Cause the time is right Love your daddy with all your might Put your arms around me Hold me tight Play the game of love 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 She was a comptometer operator in the accountancy firm where I worked in the 60’s and I know she lived on Raymede Drive. It would have been polite to ask her for her surname! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's an uncommon name. The Bertha I'm referring to lived in the Newcastle area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 303 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I can’t remember a girl called Bertha or anyone that lived on Raymede Drive. I did know a girl, very well, who lived with her Mam and Dad in Rise Park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
