This enthusiasm for the Cure is understandable but entirely unreciprocated as I understand it?
Yes, the few times I’ve heard/seen Robert Smith talk about Crawley, it’s been pretty uncomplimentary.
That's par for the course, though. Slagging off the town is normal. But if an outsider does it, it's as if they punch your sibling. Outsiders aren't allowed to do it. In some ways Crawley has improved over the years, but become worse in others. At least it's no longer an artistic wasteland.
I thought Mungo Jerry came from Ashford, Middlesex?

Yes, they did. And in the early days they used to have a regular spot at the Master Robert pub near where my uncle lived in Hounslow. Maybe Jim is thinking of the Brett Marvin / Jona Lewie / Terry Dactyl songs?
