Extra Information A humorous ditty about the things you remember from bad situations. Broken arms, headaches and fake Waterloo medals made in Birmingham! Beautiful music for such a light-hearted ditty! (A. B. C. = Aerated Bread Company.) They were a revolutionary brand of tea rooms, mocked by many at the time for their reliance on industrialisation and lack of fresh food apparently.
