by ALAN PLATER : six tall stories on the Road to Wembley, with Bill Maynard as Stan the Fryer Francis Matthews as Eric the Prologue
Story 5: The Wife of Batley's Tale There was a lady, sometimes sieen" round here,
Earthy of tongue and pre-disposed to beer.
In Batley she had savoured life's experience,
And called herself a widow for convenience.'
