Stretford (pop. 37,500) is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, in Greater Manchester, England. Lying on flat ground between the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, it is 3.8 miles (6.1 km) to the southwest of Manchester city centre, 3.0 miles (4.8 km) south-southwest of Salford and 4.2 miles (6.8 km) northeast of Altrincham. Stretford is contiguous with the suburb of Chorlton-cum-Hardy to the east, and the towns of Urmston to the west, Salford to the north, and Sale to the south. The Bridgewater Canal bisects the town.
Historically a part of Lancashire, during much of the 19th century Stretford was an agricultural village known locally as Porkhampton, a reference to the large number of pigs produced for the nearby Manchester market. It was also an extensive market gardening area, producing more than 500 long tons (508 t) of vegetables each week for sale in Manchester by 1845. The arrival of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894, and the subsequent development of the Trafford Park Industrial Estate in the north of the town, accelerated the industrialisation that had begun in the late 19th century. By 2001, less than 1% of Stretford's population was employed in agriculture.

Where does time go
when it flies by,
cause its always leaving me behind?
One of these days,
when I'm the president,
I'll give new meaning to the weekend.
[Chorus]
So when we rule the world,
we'll put it up to a vote yeah.
To make another day,
one more like saturday,
so we can stay late.
All those in favor for
cutting the workweek short,
raise your hands and say yeah!
A hard day's work
deserves a hard day's night.
You should be sleeping like a log.
You work so hard,
and yet you work too late.
I wish you'd just punch the clock in its face.
[Chorus]
We'll make it a crime
to work overtime, no explanations.
If you are accused of work-aholic abuse,
we'll send you on vacation.
