As a child growing up in the 60's I remember a record on mum's radio which was a well spoken lady trying to control unruly nursery school and there was a particular child George? whom she kept chastising and it was very funny - any ideas please?

Back in the innocent days of 1963, most of us who grew up with The Beatles could not always afford a record "album," but rather opted for the cheaper singles. Since albums, or LPS as they were known then were out of the financial reach of most of us, and since the oldest Beatle was a mere 22 years old when this album was recorded, the teen audience was the target of EMI records. But, during this time, albums were reserved by the record companies as a shameful cash-in either for a film or one based solely on the strength of a pop single. Only performers like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald were allowed the personal artistic statement of a album, that is, until The Beatles. In the first part of this series, we take a look at the Beatles first UK release, "Please Please Me." Released on March 22, 1963, its US counterpart was "Introducing The Beatles," released on July 22, 1963 and re-released on January 27, 1964. Here you'll find the history of the album, the songs and lyrics and what they mean.

The lady was called Joyce Grenfell. The piece you are talking about was called "George Don't Do That".

Lofty beat me to the answer, but maybe you might like some of the early St Trinninians (spelling has never been my strong point) from the late 50's to early 60's.
