Songfacts®:

  • Ward Thomas are twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas. This song finds them recalling the time they got lost in the Essex parish of Ugley. Catherine Ward Thomas recalled to The Guardian:

    "We were using the satnav and it really didn't work. A lot of it was down to the fact that we'd just played a wedding; I was driving and Lizzy, who had just had a couple of glasses of wine, was in charge of directions. It was a bit of a nightmare."
